What is going on with the steering on this last one? How does that even work?

The N series old Ford tractors steered like that with two draglinks. There was a pitman arm coming out of each side of the steering box and they each travelled the opposite way. I'd hate to see what's under the dash on this car, to run both draglinks.
On the other hand, I like symmetry and two draglinks make the car symmetrical. I like the look.
That includes the glass valve covers and the artillery wheels.

I had the same question Willy, looked at this car 4-5 time over that weekend
tried to sneak a look waited around for the guy to come back, no luck
but I feel sure MAC is right...and yes I bet the under dash is packed full.....

I agree completely that the car looks amazing! My dad actually has an old N series tractor now that you mention it and it does steer like that. I wonder what you have to do to get that to work and how it handles.

Ford 3000 sieries tractors are that way also, and they have hydraulic power assist. Maybe the shafts are extended to reach the outside of the cowl.[S

Seeing that "woody" in the background with the plastic wrap reminds me of walking into a house where the owner has spent thousands of dollars on carpet and then throws down cheap plastic runners so nobody walks on it...[S
