YES farmall is right,,,back in the 30's when all of these tractors were being made,like oliver,case,john deer,moline,cock shut,just to name a few,All of the tractors heading to Michigan were required to have fenders,it was part of a safety campaign for the introduction of the modern farm tractor,and the requirement just stayed on even to this day,it's just part of our pulling in Michigan,like the law requiring one to hitch your horse to the hitch'in post when in town,,this is still on the books in many towns in alot of states ,even in Michigan,,,,,remember,farming was going from horses to tractors!, and a lot of old timers didn't want to give up there "hay burners" right away,so the companys had to think of a way of selling there tractors,and safety was one of many,,along with the work that could be done in one day compared to the Horse,,,when was the last time you heard of a farmer getting "kicked" by the old plow horse while working out in the field?",,,,did this help?,,,,,
