Its where the handbrake fits. Looks like someone has removed yours possibly because it seized up.

Hi Frans,

Welcome!
You have 2 very nice tractors!!

Is the cab on the 4WD original? Perhaps from a company, that modified Fordson's/Ford's in these days like "Bakker Ulrum"?
Best regards,
Pascal

Fordson's don't leak oil, they are just marking their territory.

Hello Frans,

Welcome on board. Nice to have someone from Holland again.
Very nice couple.
I assume the nose is modified for the six cylinder instead of the hood. Never saw that before.
Kind regards, Henk
