Did Allis put a rubber edge around the exhaust or Air Intake holes on the hood? I am thinking about adding something to keep from scuffing the intake pipe up when removing the hood.

Also at the exhaust hole, there are 3 small holes equally spaced around the hole, what was that for?

No rubber edges on the D series hoods.  Three small holes have been added later in the tractors life
Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed

Interesting about the holes, they are so symmetrically spaced that is looks factory.

If a tractor had a cornpicker mounted on it, those holes may be for a thrash deflector around the muffler

These may be for the block-off plate, the under-hood muffler option.

If you could locate a plastic or cardboard tube of the correct diameter, you could simply slip it over the air cleaner pipe each time you removed or installed the hood.

The holes are for a muffler guard for picking. I got a round one and a rectangular one (for oval mufflers) with my 170 picker.

Good idea. I have been using painters tape
