Think there would be a market for these?

Ken borrowed my original bracket and had a guy make several of them up.
They are not exactly like original but will work just as well.
A guy would still have to modify his T handle to make it longer - which wouldn't be hard to do. It is this bracket that would be hard to make at home.
The first photo compares the original (blue) and Ken's (unpainted).
The second photo is the one I showed here recently when I got it from a boneyard.
It also shows the longer rod that is needed.
Last photo shows both parts mounted on a tractor.
It lets you apply the parking brake with out having to bend over so far.
Comments, especially those relating to a price someone would pay would be great.
Thanks

My belly has not so big I can not reach the original short release "if I remember to" I do like neat chit and would buy one... I brought one beer last night at a bar for only $4.79.... The Skippy 6 oz steak was only $30.00... I gave the gal $35 B"N the big tipper I am I told the gal to keep the change :shock:

Looks like someone used a water jet to cut the pattern and then bend it into shape?
If the vo-tech school wasn't so far away, I'd like to learn to program them.

I've got plenty of big belly, and I was planning to rig one up for myself. Can't
figure out why Ford was so stupid. Their big selling point was the easy on-and-off
ergonomics. How come they took so long to fix this? Ol' Henry was a fitness freak
and skinny, so I could understand him, but he died in 1947.

I suppose I'd pay $20. That's about $1 in the money at the time they were built.

I read this last night, and was thinking I'd buy one, if I had a tractor that needed it. Was thinking around $20, like cdmn. Then I realized that Luke's 4000 could use one. I'll see if he's interested in one.

Hey Dog:

This should fit a 2600, right? I would be interested. My needs are medical, not otherwise.

What would REALLY blow my skirt up would be a kit that had the bracket AND an extended T handle. Throw in hardware and I would think the kit would easily be worth $50.

Would that allow a profit?

...and I need one. Want to put that kit together and sell it to me?

Yeah, the rub is having the bracket and not the extended rod.
I don't know if it is practical - with double shipping, etc but maybe if someone sent their T handle to Ken he could extend it and send the package back complete.

Think there would be a market for these?
