What is it?

[2 Fingers]

Hey guys, thanks in advance for any replies. I've got a bracket on my John Deere R that I recently acquired and I don't know what it's for and I can't find it in the parts catalog. It's just a piece of flat iron with an offset in it and it has a vertical shaft with threads on the top end welded to it. It's bolted where the remote cylinder hanger would normally go.

Maybe some kind of homemade umbrella bracket?

That was my first assumption as well, it sure enough looks to be factory built though.

Try a photo in closer and maybe that will help others help you.

You're right, unfortunately the tractor and I don't live together so I can get a better pic next time I'm close to it if it's still necessary. It's not something that keeps me awake at night but I exhausted my resources and thought I'd reach out to the community in hopes they would know, even if they had to zoom in on the pic.

A zoomed in pic, fuzzy though.
