As you know, I have been building the 2 post canopy for the Case 431T and had to relocate the remote levers. At first I thought I would just cut them off and rotate them down and weld at the new angle. It was rather hard to reach them where they would clear. Second idea was to use some mechanical control cables that I had, but ran into issues with clearance and they only had 2" of travel and I needed 4". Today I decided to move the levers up by the dash. Built a simple support bracket to hold the pivot bolt for the bell cranks, welded the levers on the bell cranks after cutting and grinding off the bases of the original handles. I cut 27" out of the linkage rods and reconnected them to the valve levers and bell cranks. Simple and serviceable solution, that for the most part utilized the original parts and pieces.
