Years ago I looked at the original diagram for the 1250 tractor and as I recall it had a dust shield. Mine didn't have one when I bought it (was used...rode hard and put away wet) and can only guess it got ripped off at the first oil change. I didn't have much of a problem because the fan was down to nibs when I got it. But I suppose an operating fan and no dust shield might explain it. If I ever get it back together (new fan blade in place) I'll post back.
