Mystery Bracket
Hello All: My 1954 Cub came with this bracket mounted on the steering post - any ideas what it was used for? Anything straight inserted into it would run into the steering wheel rim. Any photos of one in use? Thanks![img][/img]

Re: Mystery Bracket
I'm not so sure that would hold an umbrella. Just one bolt holding it would probably allow it to rotate on the steering post.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Mystery Bracket
2 things come to mind, first thought is part of the row marker setup on a planter. 2nd thought is part of the mounting for a Heat Houser.

Re: Mystery Bracket
At one time IH offered an anti Cub detection device that mounted on the steering arm, but today's technology has made that system obsolete. Most owners has since discarded the system but never removed the bracket.

Yep, could be for a heat houser or windbreaker.

Re: Mystery Bracket
I remember when Dad got a Heat Houser for our H, or whatever brand it was Tractor Supply sold when they were a tractor place. We had an umbrella that would adjust up and down, and it would set right on top of the wind breaker and that was a great setup. I was much easier to please about 57 or 58 years ago.

Re: Mystery Bracket
Thanks everyone for your suggestions! The bracket is not too robust, so I'm leaning toward it's being a part of a heat houser or windbreaker installation rather than being for an umbrella. I'll admit that I'd never heard of or seen either one before now! It's serving no purpose now, but I'll leave it there - it's a part of the "provenance" of the tractor! Thanks again! Pete
