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.

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.

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.
