I am 99% done with a FULL restore of a 1958 D17 I was very careful to label everything as I took it apart. It is all back together and i have one part left over. I have looked everywhere and nothing stands out. It looks similar to the bracket that holds the brake lock. Any help would be appreciatd.

| Was it bolted to the cylinder head, for lifting? What are hole dimensions? And is the hex pattern worn into the piece, or factory made it that way. |

| It would not have been used for lifting. The bracket is only 2 inches long. The hex pattern appears to be original but you never know with these old machines. It closely resembles the bracket for the brake lock but not exactly. I will hold on to it until I figure it out. Does not appear to be a critical part. |

How LARGE is it? Large enough to hold the rear work lamp on?? ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

heck I'm impressed you only have ONE leftover part !!! rear work light mounting bracket sounds good, as there's only ONE of these 2" long parts perhaps a 'parts picture' may show it ??? like others, I'm curious, so hopefully someone will KNOW what it is !! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
