Thank you, Lonnie, that was the exact post I was thinking of. I appreciate the bump, and Chuck, thanks for the repost of the pic.
Murph-NC had indicated, "Looks like someone added the more modern steering arm support bracket", and then later said, "On a related note, my '41 C has a rather unique home-made support for the rear steering shaft.", and then tomdavison's comment was, "The steering support was a fix that was offered in the mid-40s. The steering sector could not be bolted tight enough to prevent the steering sector from moving. We had this trouble on our 42 C and we added this support to it. It became a standard item on later Cs."
It really sounded to me like there was a factory deficiency that was originally fixed by the farmer, and then AC came up with a retrofit as a repair. I was trying to get more information, or wondering if I misinterpreted the dialogue here. I find this kind of stuff fascinating.
