Just finished a refresh on my grandfathers WD! The overhaul went smoothly, thanks largely to the wealth of information shared in this forum...thanks to one and all! Being a sunny day I decided to take it for a drive.  Now a question for the collective knowledge base: what are the brackets for? One on each side, built quite heavy.

Looks to me like something added by a previous owner. No idea what they were for. |

Not sure IIRR, but, seen 'em before, I think they are the lift brackets to lift the front cultivator gangs...

Heat hauser? Awful heavy for that, tho.... ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

Heat houser was my guess. The mower bracket was on the under side of the axle, but on the right side. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

| We had nothing like that for the cultivator on the wd45. There were similar brackets to hold up the elevator on a mounted picker. |

My grandfather was the only previous owner and I don't know that it was ever used for any row crop work, the farm was all about cows and hay. I do remember the "heat houser" many years ago but don't remember it these brackets were used for attachment. Thanks to those who have offered suggestions, I'm going with the heat houser. |
