[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

Well curiosity got the best of me on these so I beadblasted them to have a closer look. I tend to agree with Tom Bill that these are someone's "farmer fix" however they did a great job on them.

I now am wondering if they are maybe a stamped 1929 front brace that has been trimmed to fit. The puzzler is why did they go to the trouble of installing the rivets instead of just welding the edges?

I definitely think if whomever had taken the time to grind and metalfinish their welds on the brace, it may have cause some folks to start scratching their heads!


(BTW, notice the frame welting in the pictures above. THAT was a first for me too.)
