How hard would it be to do a foot throttle?

Hi- The lever (#37) extends up into a slot in frame. Lever is not seized. It moves freely. But, it extends up into a slot in frame, so it is not able to move forward off the stud. -

Pull the heads off and look for scored cylinders. If the cylinders look good check the valves. My money's on it needing the valves adjusted. Unfortunately they have to be removed and the stems ground. I haven't had the best success doing that in the past.
-
The gray GT series used a combo PTO switch as well, just in case anyone's interested.

Google Hydro Pedal #1, Hydro Pedal #2, Hydro Pedal #3 if you'd like to see the threads on my builds. #2 and #3 are my favorites. #1 needs more work on auto return mechanism. Copy them at your own risk. I don't make them due to the liability issues. #2 is totally bolt on.

So to update this, after doing the specified tests he bought a cheap magneto, set the air gap, did not bolt the right side of the magneto down properly, cranked it, caught said magneto with the flywheel, and broke the engine end plate. Tractor is currently at the local Toro dealer.
-
Yeah, that's kinda the same basic idea. Like I would buy an Explorer all the way out to 2019, because it's basically an 07 Edge with EPAS and a longer wheel base.
-
Thank you sir! It's getting there!

Well I was specifically referring to the models we have now. My Tacoma is a 2011, and they were the same until 2015, and the Tundra was good until 2017.
-
Mine is not made to the same standard that some here are. Mine has a direct link to the center console hydro pivot, and has no return to center. The pedal itself was originally the Kubota as in the pic you posted but I have since swapped to a Toro pedal. Just preference, but the reverse side of the Toro is easier to get to.

Hello Everyone, I'm looking for a 520-H/HC fan gear (5-17 for reference) for a non gear reduction setup. I have broken a tooth off mine. Also, question, is it a separate piece or part of the shaft? Thank you in advance, Kevin -
Hello Everyone, The breather is rotated in the summer position. I did the leak down test and have 62% leakage in the #2 cylinder and 65% on the #1 cylinder. I heard the air leaking into the crankcase from the oil filler tube. I couldn't hear air escaping anywhere else.It unfortunately looks like piston or/and ring issues. I know these motors are hard to find or even get rebuilt. I don't even know if there are parts out there for me to try an do this myself. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks for your suggestions and help. Regards, Bob

Today was another shining example that there are still decent people in this world. While setting for lunch I got a phonecall from Rick Libby. Rear axle done. Truck ready to be picked up so I can install rear lamps and splash guards along with whatever other State Inspection work I find it needs. I said, "Do you have the dollar amount?" Now - let's go over what was done. A BUNCH of cleaning and rust removal. ALL NEW PARTS installed in the entire axle. Center carrier. Change from open Ford to Auburn posi. New bearings pressed in. New ring and pinion. All special tools and knowledge type work. Also: New brakes including all hardware. New U joints. Transfer case rear seal. We have no actual information on how much time he put in. I'm 99% sure it was at LEAST 8 to 10 hours over the 4 weeks he had the truck. Honestly... could be double that. Easy! I was seriously figuring on a minimum count of 20 hours. He billed me for FOUR hours. I had to ask twice if he was OK with that. Turns out.... he was using my old Ford as therapy. Nostalgia. Enjoyment. So it's scheduled to be towed back up here tomorrow morning. Next steps will be rear lights and swapping the alternator type. This diagram is for my own notes. -

What I would do is put castellated nut back on backwards or use a standard nut if you have one. Thread it almost all the way on - leave the stud recessed a thread or two. This will protect the threads for a hammer treatment. Use a prybar or large screwdriver to put good tension on the bottom of the bar and tap the nut. The shocks generated by the hammer may persuade the lever off. -
Today at work our youngest tech (17yo) called me old. So I picked up a piece of pipe I keep around for various things, bent over, pretended to use is as a cane, put on my best old man voice, told him "In my day we respected our elder", then whacked him in the head.
