Too much or just right?
 

Those of you following my 100 resto thread, have no doubt seen the brass steering cap. You may have also noticed the tractor doesn't have a shift knob on it. I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to order an original shifter knob or have my buddy make a custom one out of the brass he has left from the cap. On one hand, I think the brass knob would be a nice addition and set off the cap nicely. On the other hand, I think it might be a bit over the top. Opinions?

Might be pushing it a bit. You would be only a step away from a chrome skull head with glowing red eyes.
Have him make one out of black Delrin.

It's a personal choice thing but the steering cap looks cool. If it's going to be for show and you like the looks, go for it.

Steering wheel cap is a great way to add detail. Plus, it's similar to what IH offered on other things. Shift knob, I'd go original.

Nahh....
Ya need a PBR tap handle!!

I think it would match the steering wheel nicely.

Check with your grandad. Might be nice project to work on together. He may have something or just want it original.

Go with the rubber one, brass may be nice but you would have to glue it on or use a set screw.

The plan was a set screw on the bottom so it couldn't be seen. I think I'm leaning towards having him make it and then if I decide it's to much I could powder coat it in black.

I think it would look good. You could always sell it if you dont like it, or put it on a shelf
