We have this 53 WD with a shift tower that looks like it has three dowl pins in it, I have never seen one like it. Has anybody else seen one like it, or know what the reason for them is?

| They almost look like casting vents that weren't trimmed off, but I see what you mean that they look like dowel pins. |

 John, I have never seen another one like it but I am relativley new to this "Tractor Disease" I'm sure someone on here has seen it before. I have one more picture of it.

They look like they are threaded and they are directly over the detent balls and springs.
Seems like a lot of work to go thru just to make the job of installing those pesky springs and balls easier than from the underside?
