Thanks Matt. I'm not sure how I'm going to do the parking brake. I may make it like the other side but I'd really like to make it like the old Farmalls where they have notches cut into the pedal arm and have a handle you pull up to engage a stop in the notches. Then when you kick the pedal the stop releases.

My clutches are so sensitive, there's not much travel for the tractor to roll between releasing the brake and the clutch engaging. Now, turning brakes would be cool, not necessary, but cool looking. I think there was another kid in Indiana who did that to a custom narrow front 100 a while back. Can't think of his name. He posts on the IHRegstry.com site. I mispelled it on purpose cause for some childish reason Regstry comes up with ******** if you spell it right.

Anyway, you're right. Looks factory to me.

I picked up a 42" IH blade for it today and your right about the pedal interfearing with the lift rod. The lift rod that came with it was way too short (came off a newer wide frame) so I need to make a lift rod anyway so I'll work around the pedal.
Does anyone happen to have a pic of the lift bracket that attaches to the lift handle. I'm going to make one.

Great job IHinIN,

Did you make that "sleeve" from solid stock or did it used to be something else?

It's made from a piece of 1" od tubing. It was .50" id and I drilled it out to .75" to fit over the pivot shaft.

I made a small change to the brake pedal. I put a 1.50" offset in it to get it away from the frame to give me room to run my lift rod behind it. It also will be easier to get my foot on the pedal since the lift handle made it hard to get my foot on it.

I got my lift rod made and it just barely clears the brake pedal. Here's a few more pics of the pedal and the brackets I made to make the blade fit.

Great work IHinIN,

While looking at your pics I noticed some nice looking modifications to your front blade sub-frame. Can you tell us about that?

Awesome job, IHinIN! I really like that.

The sub frame was made for a wide frame Cub so I had to modify it to fit my narrow frame. The supports running back to the rear of the tractor had an inward offset in them so I cut both of them off and welded them back on on opposite sides so they are now offset outward. On the front hangers one of them was either bent or welded on crooked so I cut it off and welded it back on straight. The triangular plates on the front mounts are made from 1/4" plate and bolt on thru the mule drive mounting holes.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
