Hi everyone, just been reading this really old cat book about restoring farm crawlers and ploughs, it mentioned ( escutcheon pins ) and I’m not sure what it is, is it something to do with drawbars or attachments?

Thanks Bruce oz and Dpendzic, I was way off the mark thinking it was a pin for a drawbar or a attachment. :confused2:

I think Eddie B has another term for those pins with a kind of twist on them that are driven into blind holes to attach the various brass plates on to the tractor, like the serial number plate and the patent plate. My guess is that's what the book was referring to.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
