Accessory mounting brackets on ck 3510 HST?

[Skidrowe18]

Hi All,
I was washing the tractor today (sorry to my friends in the frozen tundra) due to recently being stuck in the mud up to the axils. As I was walking around I was looking for a mounting location to add a toolbox and noticed these brackets in the rear. I know others have used other locations to mount but was curious what these were originally intended.



Also on the right side there is another bracket that I am currently using to hold a wrench.



Any ideas?

Cab mounting points?

The brackets around the gas tank are not for cab mounts. I just had a field kab installed and those mounts were not used. But I am going run a piece of unistrut across the back mounts and than attach my tool box.

Sounds like these are a mystery...

Wow, really surprised no one has a clue....

This may sound dumb. but what do the owners or parts manual say? Possibly the part name will help.

Here it is 10 years later.. I am wondering the same thing... I recently joined the Kioti club with a CK2620, I noticed the same brackets. Of note the right (lower) one the holes have 8*1.25 nuts (my label) welded to the back side, the left lower bracket has 2 smaller

holes (not threaded). Absent any "known purpose" I will likely weld some angle iron and make a toll box bracket or something similar.

Those mounts are for the license plate bracket, along with the license plate light and SMV sign for the European market.

Thanx PTSG, that makes sense (the size supports Euro license plate). Pretty stout license plate mount!

I went ahead and "refurbished" an ancient / beat up toolbox I had laying around (painted it with Chevy engine orange paint: decent match). and used some angle iron to make a bracket for this [articular tool box...

Note, if you look close you can likely tell I am in NO WAY a professional welder, please just let it go.
