I like it. I believe that a 3 point or other modification should not only work properly, but look good and utilize space efficiently. you could say i like it to look factory but maybe a little more user friendly. The old Farmalls in basic form get to be hard enough to climb on and maneuver around to sit or get off when IH added a TA lever IPTO lever, and battery box seat to the small but adequate platform for the 40s (luxury for the time). Add a fast hitch and some user-added equipment and a young guy really has to be careful where he steps. Rain, mud or an oil leak/spill on the trans cover or poor shoes will make a young man an old cripple fast! which leads me to why i don't like the saginaw and the like. Built heavy and quite functional, but they sure look like they clutter up the tractor rear. It looks like safe, easy mounting and dismounting for the driver become hindered.
I've been spoiled with a 656, 1256, and ford 5000 in my life, so the older ones are a bit inconvienient for my spoiled expectations. However my dad is nearly 70 and now has trouble getting on and off the newer ones--he's fallen a number of times in the last few years from missing a step on them so he's almost scared of the 400 and will let someone else climb up and drive so he doesn't have to.
nice work, looks like climbing aboard will not be more or less difficult than similar aged tractors.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
