Koti DK45HSE part identification needed

[sdef]

Good day,

I was working at my new property clearing a spot for the driveway in a very rocky, densely wooded area. The front wheels spend as much time off the ground as they do on the ground, while digging out tree stumps and large rocks. And the tractor is constantly bouncing and in a multitude of positions.

I stopped for a break and happened to notice this part laying beside the tractor. It may look familiar, but I can't place it.

Does anyone have any idea where it goes and what it may be used for?

Thanks.

well guy, i went and loked over my tractor, and the only parts that are orange are the entire loader, the rims and the fenders. everything else is grey.

I looked over my loader, and i cant find anything that looks like that.

grsthegreat: Thanks for taking the time to look. At the small end, there is evidence it was bolted to something and maybe wear marks where the attachment point was loosening. It looks like a lifting eye for something heavy, such as engine, transmission, differential or frame. I am hoping it is just that, with its own attachment point and not also holding something else together.

you might try to email the pic to your dealer...see if he has any idea

I think it is a shipping bracket for the loader.

Could it be the eye that holds your loaders bucket level tube/gauge in place ?

I just sent an email to my dealer- per grsthegreat's suggestion. I will post their comments.

Thanks guys. I just want to make sure it is not "something important", in any functional manner.

The tractor is 40 miles away so I can't check or verify anything.

Looked on MIE's web page and it show's it welded also.
