OK JB, Perhaps it's where the turbo connected.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!

maybe it is to hold your "hot dog on a stick" to warm it while you mow?
Sounds silly eh? I only say this, because I remember my great grandfather saying that they used to have some old car that they would stick a stew pot beside the engine, and put a pot roast in it. It would cook while they were driving "up north" then they would have dinner when they got there. The drive was several hours.

Nope...
Sorry guys - all those guesses are noble, but the far simpler explanation is that the tractor was parked outside for many years, either whole or in part (as supported by the surface rust mentioned in the listing), and as will happen with most farm implements left to nature's devices, this particular wayward cub fell prey to steel bees.
They'll eat a nice round hole a few inches across, then crawl inside and lay their eggs. Once the larvae hatch, they make their way out of the poor implement by the shortest route, which is probably what caused the damage mentioned around the front lights, if I had to guess.
All the supporting evidence is there

Steel bee...
I figured I'd better post a picture of one I captured last fall, just so you'd be able to identify it if you ever come across one...
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! Capturing one of these babies involves the double-fisted, ambidextrous, bilateral use of a pressure washer and an electric welder at the same time - and if you mix up your left and your right hand for even a split second you can water-weld yourself right there on the spot!
