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? ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

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. ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

| 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. ------------- D10 Series III, fully optioned |

| 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. ------------- AGCO My Allis Gleaner Company |
