[AT] 430V mysteries

[Dean VP]

Indiana,

JD sold a button that fit in one of the holes in a pan seat that had a
special rope ring that would release the rope when needed.  No broken ropes.
Extra cost option. Repro's currently being sold for $15 or so.

In the 1940's and 1950's a lot of implements used a rope to control
something on them. There were a lot of trip rope plows in use. several of
our corn pickers had a rope to control a big flap at the top of the wagon
elevator to control how far back it threw the ears of corn in the wagon.
They also had a rope to turn the wagon elevator off and back on when making
a turn. A rope control was pretty standard on a pull type combine to raise
and lower the reel in relation to the cutter bar. The John Deere 12A combine
we used also had a rope to operate the clutch on the combine's %$#@ tiny
engine. You had to fasten those ropes somewhere and it usually was to the
seat. You just didn't want to use too strong of a rope or if something
happened you could yank the seat off.  :-) I am probably missing several
other rope uses but it's been a very long day...
As to the bolts, maybe the PO liked to carry two shot guns when picking
instead of just one...  :-)
