[AT] 430V mysteries

Spencer,

Check out the Parts Catalog Page for the TopLink. Key 9 chain probably goes
through the two holes on the back of the seat.  Used to hold the TopLink out
of the way when not being used.  As far as the bolts are concerned I would
guess some kind of Heat Houser setup that doubled as shields in the Orchard.

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!
