Hi Neighbor,
'Spose I'd better fess up here.
That guitar 'was' a Roland Ready made in Mexico, which I bought for a little of nothin' on ebay.
It originally had a 6 bolt bridge and we all know bad they sound. Also had a rosewood neck out of the box.
Anyhoo, I started converting it for a good working Strat tone and I drilled those two holes about 20 years ago so I could mount the "pivot" style trem.
Long story short, the only original part of that guitar is the body and it worked fine until that "thin" portion of the wood gave way and it wouldn't return to tune after using the gearshift handle. :>)
If it wasn't for the fact that I need that routed-out body for the synth pickup/wiring/controls, I'd just throw it away. But, I've searched and searched and ya just cannot buy a RR body without going back to a complete original RR guitar.
I doctored it last night and it's looking pretty darned good this morning. I'll let ya know how this all turns out.......makes the winter go faster ya know. :>)

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
