@propane1 Noel looks good . And the best part is the same idea can be used on Case/Inggies . I have learned working on many different breads of cars, trucks and small tractors that not one them is perfect and can learn and adapt something from all of them . Same goes for each other .

Looks good Dave. You can preheat your plastic in the oven before forming it.

This project is really coming along great! You’ll be so comfortable in there you won’t want to go in the house!
I like the name Tarzan.

When you said it had a butt flap I thought of the old Union Suit long underwear! :rofl:

Looking good Dave. Where’s the hole in the seat and flap for the natural gas to get to the gas cap. :78:
Son got the fan working in his new to him Ford tractor. Has system in the ceiling for heat. 3 speed fan, adjustable louvers to put air where you want.
Tarzan would be a good name for the tractor Dave.
