mule drive mount clamp
 

what's the purpose of this skinny bar called the "mule drive mount clamp?"

Really?!? Does anyone know it's purpose?!?

How about a picture of what you are referring to. I am a bit confused what you are talking about.

posting a pic of the little bar right underneath the front of the tractor.

Here's one for sale even:

That is NOT a clamp. It is the "Quick Attach" or QA feature to install or remove implements quickly.

how the heck does it work? is it mainly for front attachments?

after sliding on the muel drive or attachmen you pull it down or lift it and it locks it on so the atachment will not slip out

hmmmm... thanks but mine doesn't seem to budge... and the sides are pressed right up against the frame leaving only about a 1/4" gap between it and the front of the frame...

i'll play with it more as i start doing more restoration...
