What is it?sawmill mod

I made this yesterday when I had to replace a third hose on my lt40 super with stationary command control. Let's see if you guys can figure this mod out.

Need a clue!   :-\

I'm guessing a stop of some sort or possibly a go/no-go gauge for different ops.

Here's a couple clues.
It swivels. And is now attached to the mill permanently, unless I get a big mobile job.
I will no longer be beating my legs up.

A hitch hider?

Well I guess Paul's close enough. Because the hitch is hidden now, in the back corner of my shed.
I have been turning down mobile jobs for 2 years now since I have enough to keep me busy without them. When I replace hoses I take the hitch off the mill tape the new hose to a stick and fish it through. Since my mill is a remote the command control and cat track are attached with the same bolts that hold the hitch on. It takes a six armed man to get everything lined back up and bolted on. So I pulled the hitch and made this filler so I could tighten the bolts down without bending the tongue. And I made it so all I have to do next time is loosen the bolts and it will swivel down out of the way. I know it's not a rocket science mod.  But figured I'd throw it out there.
