Purpose of soft plastic flap on B80?

Recommended Posts

What is the purpose of this flap? It sits between the seat platform and the foot board. I have a 75 B80 this was on. I was considering putting on a newer piece, but wasn't sure what to get or if it's necessary.

I've had 2 '75 B-80's and I don't recall ever seeing a flap like that.

Interesting. The only thing I could think of was to maybe protect from the two pieces of metal rubbing on each other. I guess if that's not an issue, then I won't use them. Thanks!

It could easily be a P.O. modification.  Not a bad idea though!

Interesting Theory and a good idea. 

 

We've had a pile of those mid 60s to mid 70s vintage tractors here and a lot of them get pretty scratched up in that area.
