Hello!

I have a question to the picture of the "Oldest Foster Traction Engine"
There are "tings" hanging on the front axle. I have seen this things on other engines too, sometimes they were on the steering-chaines.

Would you please tell me what that is.

Thank you!
Thomas

They are called spuds... Metal you attach to wheels for grip in mud
