  Thought you folks might like to see the new cables that will control my fuel & transmission linkage. I have to wait for my neighbour/ welder to weld together a bracket I made to hold them in place. I think the trans is going to work really good. The cables are for a PTO setup. There's a 1/4" stainless shaft on each end with 4" travel. The transmission one is 10' long & the gas one is 14' long.

the old trucker:

    Here are a couple of pics of how I have the shifter linkage hooked up. In the first pic I will flip the ear to the other side & hookup the cable. Everything works fine & shifts the right way. I had to make a larger bell crank than what was originally used so the kick down rod would work OK. The cable I used on this is 11 ft. (132")& not 10 ft. as I said earlier. Most bombers should be able to use the original brackets with the trans. 
    I have it all taken apart again to paint.

grfishmaker:
Looks like a PRO there OT. How does it feel as far as the movement on the shift lever? Is there too short a travel or not too bad? On mine, it is still reversed (no bell crank yet) and there is too short a throw on the shifter lever. I'm going to let you experiment on yours, screw up a bit, fix it right, and then I will copy yours (cause that's what friends are for). Right?
