The column has what looks to me like an automatic shifter on it, but I know the truck has a manual transmission. Could this just be patched together or has any one else seen something like this? Here is the link to my picture:

I kind of like it, does it work to hold the shifter in place? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,272 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,272 | I am guessing that the Missouri turnip herder who set that up either stripped the threads which held the original shifter to the mast, or lost the original shifter setup, and used what he could steal to make it work.
I am with David Bush. I admire the workmanship, especially the backward shifter indicator.

I can't wait to get it running to see if it works or not. It through me at first glance, I thought that it might of had the hydro in it, but after getting it out of the dirt and crawling under it I can see it's a 3 speed.
