Slick ideas you have here. That frame is shaping up good.
This is the sort of thing that I do myself and I'm enjoying watching your progress on this project.
Question .. are you going to cap the angled front ends of the rectangle tube or leave them open ?

That is going to be a wicked looking tractor.
Are you going to fab up a long hood section to extend back to the steering wheel ?

Yes sir. I'm hoping to keep a similar oe steering system. Working in this tractor is nice. Breaks up my day working on it during my lunch hours. Lol.That is going to be a wicked looking tractor.

Hopefully get back to this project today during lunch. I had been working on some C-Channel frame rail perches for the rear end.
Also purchased a VOLVO PV 544 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION from eBay for the tractor. More I thought about it, the more I like having the gears easily accessible rather than having to change a belt position. Besides my reversing wheel is shot.

With the greater horse power of the engine you're using, I like your idea of using a transmission instead of the original V-belt drive.
It is shaping up nice.
