This mudguard bracket is the mounting interface between the fender panel and the tractor chassis. It positions the fender at the correct offset and height relative to the rear wheel, maintaining the clearance needed for tire articulation and preventing contact with the cab or bodywork. A bent or corroded bracket causes the fender to shift, leading to paint abrasion, reduced tire clearance, or stress cracks at the mounting holes. The bracket is manufactured by AGCO to match the original geometry of the fender attachment points, so the existing bolt holes align without the need for slotting or shimming. When replacing, transfer any rubber isolators or spacers from the old bracket and tighten the fasteners to the torque specification for the host tractor.
