Orriginal equipment on Cub?

I was working on my '51 Cub today and my dork brother (OW... he hit me,) saw what appeared to be cork plugs in the side of the bell housing. Apparantly these tapped holes were to mount equipment to. Before I could get him to stop he had pushed all four (two on either side) into the clutch housing. My question is, were these cork plugs installed at the factory to keep the housing sealed and the threads clean or had someone just found their own way of plugging holes?

Cork pushed through the belly bolt holes is harmless. Lots of empty space in there. The holes in the final drives are blind holes. They also had cork in them. Some original owners apparently pushed the cork into them with a result that the bolts have very little thread to catch. Use a 3/8" bit in cordless drill (run slowly) to clean those blind holes and blow them out with compressed air. Stop drilling if any metal chips come out.

My dad was an IH dealer when I was a kid growing up in the 1950"s. I remember those corks very well. IH put them in the unused tapped holes to keep out dirt, bugs, etc. They apparently were installed before the tractor was painted because the corks were always painted red as though they were part of the tractor.
