I still need to improve the design...the first set is crude and they are not very ergonomic. I redesigned the pedals but I haven't had a chance to finish making the next set for my 582. A truly 'universal' kit would be difficult. When I'm done it'll fit any CCC-built 82 series non-SGT tractor. I'd have to look at an IH-built one (and the 1x8/9 and QL tractors) a little closer to see what holes I could use that are already there. Putting them on a 1x6/7 may interfere with the deck carriage...there is less room under there. I don't own any of those any more so it'd be kind of hard for me to try anyway
The other problems are...
1. My time is going to be worth a lot more after I get out of college.
2. I probably won't have access to a lathe, hydraulic press, welder, torch, etc. and other tools I would need to make them after I move out, and I won't have access to free copies of student versions of 3D CAD software after I graduate, either.
3. While a number of people have expressed interest in buying them, I'm not really equipped to go into production. I'd have to make tooling to make the parts more consistently repeatable, and I still have to finalize the design first. I also don't know if I can price them such that it'd be worth my while to go into production. I really have no idea what kind of demand there is.
Sorry for the thread hijack...
