What is the correct right brake cover for a 1948 WD? Both the right and left brake covers are identical on my tractor. I think the seat mount mounts on a plate underneath the cover, but it doesn't have the cover with the loops in it like i've seen on all the other tractors. I'm just wondering if the early WD's had a different style seat mount/brake cover than the later ones, or if this is something that was changed or updated at some time? Thanks for any help.

According to my parts manual, the tractors prior to #127007 have the one piece combination seat bracket/brake cover.

From 127007, the WDs and the WD-45s had the seat bracket that fits under the brake cover.

Okay, so my tractor is serial # 6610, and has the bracket that fits under the brake cover. So at some point it must have been updated to the newer style then?? So if I have the newer style, is the correct brake cover under the seat identical to the left brake cover? I'm asking because when I got the tractor, the brake cover under the seat was missing, so I found a left hand brake cover and used it under the seat. Thanks for the help.

first year WD's had cast brake covers which used a separate seat bracket, after that they used a one piece cast seat bracket cover on the right and the left cover was stamped
