"Cranky John" Old Tractor

Description
I did an update to the old tractor in game. Nicknamed "Cranky John".
The goal was to try and make it up-to-date, while leaving it as close to original as possible.

Replacing the decorative piston engine with the new Inline-3 Gas Engines.
The engine uses a hand cranked flywheel starter.
Has a High/Low gear that can be used in forward and reverse.
A governor that limits the speed to 25mph.
A bunch of levers to show the gears, switches, and toggles.
Improved front suspension.


Normal start:
Stand at the front of the tractor and HOLD G, to turn the crank.
Watch the crank info panel in the bottom right until it starts to FLASH 53 RPM.
LET GO OF G.
This should start the engine, but may take a few tries.

Fast start:
Using TOOL 5, grab the left side of the hand crank at the front of the tractor. DRAG the crank down, in a COUNTER-CLOCKWISE motion. One quick turn should always start it.

Controls:
1- Parking brake
2- PTO On/Off (Blade)
G (When near the front)- Cranks the starter handle.
H- Lights
R- Forward/Reverse
L Shift- High/Low Gear (In High gear be default)
T/G- Raise/Lower trailer

Yea, the clutch gear system I used in this one just couldn't handle the load.
I was tempted to redo it in the future, but some people actually like it for the "old broke down Tractor" kinda feels...

Very nice work, I will note, as a tractor owner IRL, this one is lacking in down low torque (gearing issue). my 1960's tractor can easily climb a steep grade hill. this one seems to struggle a bit up a small incline
