I like the little tractors where the headlights should be and the very large spotlight mounted on the radiator and no fenders. Jim

Does anyone know, or can anyone tell me what that "box" is, between the transmission and rear end, between the rear radius rods?

Looks like it could be counterweight maybe? Some sort of traction weight? I can't make any more sense out of it than that.

Thank You,
Terry

The box may be a counter weight It looks like it uses a TT rear end , a shortened drive shaft or could even be a direct mount through a aux transmission.
