Thanks for the complement. I try to do things that look professional and might have been engineered by IH. It's one of the reasons why I prefer using IH parts. It gives the modification some continuity back to the factory. For instance, I will always use tie-rod cylinders because that's what IH used. Plus, I can shorten them if necessary.
As you can see things are kinda busy in the cockpit and you can't even see the TA lever shielded by the gear shifter. The left foot rests on the hydraulic cylinder and is comfortable.
As for climbing aboard the tractor, it is way more difficult now. The lift arms have two tapped factory holes. I will probably make a non-slip step to attach to the holes. With the rock shaft down, it will be easy to step first on the drawbar, plant the next foot on the new step, and swing the alternate leg over the seat.
I have added three more hydraulic cylinders to this tractor in addition to the foldout traction aids, an air compressor, and AC generator. I am putting together the parts for a surplus military hydraulic winch to go on the back. It will be powered with a large capacity crankshaft driven pump. I still haven't started with the soda fountain and ice cream making equipment. I'll have a few more pictures next week.
