I drove past a farmstead that I knew had a series 1 XT on the property (with a cab) as I've driven past the place for several years. I recently saw the RH side of the tractor parked close to the road and saw a circular "cover" on the side of the lower/front sheet metal  ?? I've seen pics on Tractor House listings but never gave it much thought, what is the purpose of the round hole ?? Thanks

Air filter access. ------------- 210 "too hot to farm" puller, part of the "insane pumpkin posse". Owner of Guenther Heritage Diesel, specializing in fuel injection systems on heritage era tractors. stock rebuilds to all out pullers! |

| Air Filter- some had hinges - was a crude way to do it but it worked |

| Thanks guys, I never dreamed of the A/F access. Did the "grill" not remove as easily as the series 2/3 ? |

grill is essentially the same, just difference in appearance, but the element was too long to get out of the air cleaner without the access hole. The hinged panel is on some 200's I think. ------------- 210 "too hot to farm" puller, part of the "insane pumpkin posse".

Yes, the 200 has a hinged door. |
