Andy, I guess most of the farmers here in the southern part of the U.S. were just too cheap to buy a new H or M with optional fenders because I never saw a set until I traveled up into MO, IA, and IL. While fenders offer a measure of safety, they would be in the way when mounting the tractor from the front side of the rear axle. I remember when plowing small cotton and soybeans (in days before herbicides) we would often have to dismount to clean out 4 row cultivators on the two M's we used. It was quicker to step straight down to cultivator from front of axle (would have been a pain with fenders). Rember cultivators would plug up with vines and grass especially when using the cultivator "fenders" which allowed a faster cutivating speed and helped keep from covering up the small cotton and soybean plants. Just what I remember from the fuzzy past. Joe P.
