Any reason you did not cut a rectangular hole for the joy stick cables?
I just didn't feel like messing with it right now. I think the "old" way will work ok. If I have issues down the road I'll look at changing it. At this point I just need to get the tractor back and operating so that I can get caught up on a bunch of way overdue woods/field work. I got a tree down in front of the shop from Sandy that I need to get rid off. I'm too lazy to cut it up into pieces and manually move it. I'll take the whole tree to the burn pile once I get the FEL mounted and connect the grapple. :D

I'm thikning of leaving the "park lock" off the tractor. When you move the gear shifter to the part position, it slips into position on its own with some spring pressure. I think that exterior cradle is just a double lock. It is a lot nicer to row through 3rd and 4th gear without that being in the way.

So how did all of this end up? Is the cab satisfactory, the hood fixed, the holes where the wires supposed to be and the owner happy?
Would you do anything different if you did it all again?
