[AT] 430V mysteries

[Howard Weeks]

My memory is a bit flaky these days but I think it was designed to hold 
up or tie up a 3 point center link when not in use. Also, I think I have 
seen a parts manual with some definition of the purpose for that bracket.

My 430 has one as well.

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.
