[AT] 430V mysteries

[Spencer Yost]

I have found two things on the tractor that puzzle me. The first appears factory, the second is clearly an owner mod. Both of which I do not know the purpose for. I was hoping somebody may be able to enlighten me.

The first picture is of a small bracket on the seat frame. It really looks to be like an original factory spot weld. An umbrella holder?

The second is a bolt in the hood (pic is just one side but there's an identical one on the other side). Judging by the rub marks around them it appeared to have held something that moved quite a bit. But I can't figure out what. The only clue I have is I understand the original family I got the tractor from had an orchard.

I was hoping someone on the list might be able to give me some clues as to these two items.

Thanks!
