Great picture..........
I was 15 years old 1986, before I seen a 2 cyl with fenders, never seen any on auction either. We had a good dealership in town and still going. Between the picker, loader, cultivator, you would waste
too much time with mounting and wiring. I was raised on 2 cyl and never had any close calls, other than standing on step and actually dozing off from riding there so long and the lugs catching the
buttocks.

Lets see. took half a day to mount cultivators on the H and about as long to take off. then hay needed raking ,mowing or putting up so why bother with fenders when you will just take them back off again in a day or 2. Most tractors back then fenders were an extra cost or option and money was not spent on them. Then they were cumbersome to get on and off of around them. We took the fender off the MD about the second day it was home. No room to get on or off. The H never had fenders I ever saw on it. Never had a problem with no fenders. We ran the 1466 without the cab and no fenders for a few years after we went through the entire rearend. Yes the picture is a sharp looking 630 I liked the looks of the Yellow on the hoods like that better than the just green like the Letters and early numbers 60's /70's models. Just like the IhC the hundred series was to much red the 50 series was much nicer to look at with the white in the sides of the hood.

Fenders were an extra cost option. Most of those tractors NEVER had fenders.

Looks like a Minneapolis Moline UB in the background.

One of the engineers at Case in his early years on the farm witnessed some one falling off a tractor and getting ran over. That unforgettable occurrence led him to insist on fenders as standard equipment on Case tractors.
Al nickel, you are correct that it was hazardous to operate without them.
That is why pulling tractors are required to have them as well. At least here.
I learned to farm on a JD two cylinder that my dad bought. I still own it.
Those fenders have been off and back on more times than I can count.
They are on it now and they are the original (often optional) fenders.
When you had to stare over your shoulder all day to watch the bailer, etc. it was
really nice to be able to lay your hand/arm on the fender instead of a moving tire!
Dad and Grandpa always said people were just too lazy to put them back on.
Looking back, I assume they meant, if folks had fenders and didn't need to
have the attachment hooked up at the time. They're not here to ask.
