As a kid, I used to ride with my grandfather by sitting on the fender. One foot on the lift arm for stability. My mother never said anything to me beyond hang on tight with your hands! Perhaps this mom was more demanding.

I am going to guess that seat was intended for an assistant with a job to do while the driver operated tractor.

I spent many hours standing on the left running board mowing hay with grandpa. My job was to trip the dump rake.

I to spent many hours riding the fender with my dad on a 2N. Would not dare allow my children nor grand children do that now (to dangerous). Maybe after 80 years I have become more safety conscious.

Watching for snakes? There is an excellent video filmed in Ireland on the late Harold Beers farm as he owned and used just about every Ferguson built implement there was. He demonstrates a Ferguson potato planter that required one or two people to sit in the rear on the planter and they would pull out from a box the potato seedlings to drop in the furrow. Riding on the farm 9N with my Uncle Pat was the highlight of our trips to the farm back in the 60's. I recall hanging on for dear life while standing on the axle trumpet and holding on to the fender. Amazing how back then we didn't hear about accidents or deaths from incidents like these and we certainly didn't need OSHA and lawyers around.
