Nice job - functional! I've built a few like that myself.
In our neighborhood, we had a guy who was a section hand on the railroad, and farmed at night. Early one morning, about daybreak, he fell asleep and ran his old Case tractor off a bank, turning it upside down in a gravel road. It had him pinned, but what really worried him was the battery (not tied down) lying upside down on the bottom of the gas tank, making this ominous frying sound, while gasoline dribbled from the now inverted filler cap. He scratched up all of the gravel he could reach in a desperate attempt to create a dam to keep the gasoline from running under him, but gravel makes inadequate dam material. It never caught fire, and the mailman found him a few hours later. He managing to pry him out and hauled him to the local doctor who refused to unload him, and had the mailman carry him on to the hospital about 20 miles away. His major injury was a broken hip. I think of old Bill and his "Fryin' Batt'ry" story every time I install a battery in anything.
I don't remember what model Case he had, but your tractor reminds me of it.
