Indeed, the old farmer added the brackets for depth wheels. He used it on his Belarus tractor.
I hope I won't need them, as they are missing.

Does the cultivator even fit on the tractor with the brackets on, they must be very close to the tyres?
Cut em off, I would, especially with a Super, you don't need them.

PS Mathias was it you who was asking about the length of the rod between your starter and lever, did you get your answer?

Hey Bob,
Brackets will be cut , if no longer needed. I havent fit it yet to the tractor. I m currently doing new wiring.
As for the rod, i will shorten it a bit. But i'm still wondering if there is something wrong with my setup or if there are different rods lenghts. I just got a rod, but it isnt told to be from a super.
