What\'s missing in this picture??

This is a picture from behind my tractor, looking forward at the back end of the right rear fender. The middle of the picture shows a hole in the fender with a plastic plug in it. On either side of the hole is screw hole. To the front is the flasher light and to the left is the rear work light.

Does anyone know what this mounting site is intended for? I don't have a clue, but my curiosity has been growing.

This is where your trailering plug connection would be mounted if you were in Europe. On U.S. tractors, the hole is left empty from the factory.

It does kinda look like a trailer plug would fit there. Thanks for answering my question.

Where ya plug in for the trailer lights... In Europe Tractors are required to have lighting packages just like cars. Brake, signal, etc.

Re: What\'s missing in this picture??

cipi,

My intent is not to mislead. I am not sure what a "trailering plug" is. But, what I envisioned was an electrical pin type connector (like what connects electricals from my pick-up to my trailer) sized to fit the hole in my tractor fender, secured in place by screws in the holes that flank the main hole. Used, perhaps, for trailer lighting. Maybe a requirement in Europe....I'm just guessing.
