Yeah Scottie, plus handbrake. A handsful. At least they are separated a bit & the shifter is taller. I wonder if the PTO came with a hand throttle or did all Jeeps have them? The Jeep I used to plow snow out of residential drive ways had one, so did the Jeep COE towtruck we used.

Work on the lathe is commencing well. The bed is made as are the saddle, compound and top slide. There are still details to add. Then it will be the head and tail stocks.
cheers

The lathe is progressing nicely and so far I am pretty happy. The headstock and tail stock have been added.
Next up will be the addition of the motor and upper pully shaft.
cheers

The lathe 99% done. Not perfect by any means but it's about the best I can do with my fingers and eyesight. The aux gear shaft, motor and belts have been added. Still have to connect the wiring.
Up next the switch box, vice and bench grinder.
cheers
