Hi Grigg,

I did some measurements today, Grigg you are right, the Aux Box will fit with a little effort. I do not have to move or replace the seat. The lever pops-up just in front of the seat frame.and is bent forward

The local Drive-line specialty shop is making-up a new front drive-shaft and a new U-Joint to go between the SM420 and the Watson Series 30.

But I am having trouble finding a shift level. The GM's I have found so far, are too large. The lever I need has a ball swivel which is only 1-3/8" diameter.


Dance like no one is watching,
Sing like no one is listening,
Love like you've never been hurt.
