H an M grills

What was the purpose of the small a segment of the grills that could be removed on H an M tractors?
Above the hand crank area.
 
A lever was attached to the steering shaft that "steered" the corn cultivator when used for check row planted corn.

And a nice SECONDARY feature of the opening is it is nice to clean out the grill area of straw/grass/bugs/small twigs after mowing all day!!!!! lol
 
Used that equipment many times on the old '41 H my uncle had with the steerable cultivator front gangs on the HM 221 model cultivator that came with that tractor. After cultivating season was over the steering arm (long arm) and carrier bracket (short arm) for the cultivator were removed and hung up in the tractor garage and the grill insert put back in. Then next season we'd again install the cultivator parts and the grill insert was hung up. The H and 221 cultivator was okay but it was a pain getting the front steering arm latched (it unlatched when the cultivators were raised so you could turn the front wheels to make a sharp turn) after you had raised the cultivators on the ends of the field to swing around again for another round and then lowered for the next two rows over. Two oil pan guard things were attatched to each frame side of the tractor to keep the free swinging cultivator gangs from dinging the oil pan too. The '50 H we had later on had the HM-238 cultivators with rigid front gangs so none of this stuff was needed and we never took out the grill insert. It was a much nicer cultivating outfit to use too.
