[AT] Cub Part Identification Question

[Jim Becker]

Sounds like you have the deluxe seat.  Otherwise there wouldn't be a seat 
bracket to the left of the battery.  That voids my earlier tool box comment 
as the tool boxes are different.  What year Cub is it?

The only things I can think of that would be that thin are the clips that 
hold the wiring harness.  Most of them are nowhere near 1 1/2 inches wide. 
I think we need that picture.

Not part of the tool box, it’s on the opposite side of the battery box and 
attaches to the seat mount with one bolt.

Not part of the battery box, you can’t get to the four bolts unless you 
remove the battery box.

I’ll try to get a picture of the one that I still have since it was mostly 
there when I undid the bolts. The second one was 95% gone.

What puzzles me is that they’re thin and don’t attach to anything except the 
axle extension (actually the two forward bolts also attach the floor pan the 
the axle extension).  So not something of significant strength and not 
accessible unless you remove the battery box.

I originally thought part of the electrical grounding since the battery box 
bolts to the floor pan, and the floor pan bolts to the axle extension using 
two of the same bolts that these pieces were using.

Do any of the parts look like a component of a Cub battery box as shown in 
this site?

Been working on the Cub for the last 11 - 12 weeks and should have it done 
in a couple more. When I was taking the tractor apart there were two thin 
metal strips that were bolted to the axle extension next to the battery box. 
Both were pretty rusted away and only one of them had a single hole that was 
still there. I never noticed them before in all the years that I’ve had the 
Cub, they pretty much blended in with all the rust. The two most rear bolts 
in the axle extension were pretty rusted away and I had to use bolt 
extractors to get them out of the axle extension.

The strips are about 1-1/2 inches wide and about 4 - 5 inches long. Both 
were bolted between one of the floor pan bolts and one of the other bolts 
that threads into the axle extension (the floor pan bolts secure the floor 
pan to the axle extension). Essentially they were bolted between the four 
bolts that thread into the axle extension. I see no purpose for them and don’t 
plan on making replacements.

I doubt very much if they are/were for attaching any implement since they 
are so thin. I thought maybe they were for grounding purposes, but that 
doesn’t make sense since the four bolts all thread into the axle extension, 
and the grounding of the tractor is from the battery box the the back of the 
transmission.

Anybody have any idea what they’re for?
