I have this pedal kit that I started to build for my 312 Hydro. It should fit 300, 400, and 500 series tractors. It uses a stock brake pedal from an 8 speed tractor, The link arm slides over the brake pedal and is held in place with 3 set screws. This allows the pedal angle to be adjusted separately from the linkage adjustments for operator comfort. I started to build this kit and then decided that it wasn't for me because I have very long legs and a foot control is not comfortable for me. I believe this is a pretty good design, it fits up behind the factory belt cover with no modifications. You will need to add some sort of a reversing pedal and a return to neutral device if you wish. I purchased the pedal as new old stock for $60 so it has no wear inside the bore. Then with the fabrication I have done, and the misc supplies (heim joints, rod couplers, threaded rod, lock collar, etc.) I am asking for $150 shipped. I includes everything in the photos that show the foot pedal, I will partially disassemble it for shipping. Let me know if you have any questions. My email is wagner.rsw@gmail.com

Another foot pedal mod -C-175 Eaton 1100
pacer posted a topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
(Edit) Correction. the tractor shown here has the Sundstrand tranny linkage - tho the Eaton is virtually identical. (I had just finished work on an Eaton and didnt shift brain gears) This is yet another foot pedal mod, but its for a "C" which I haven't seen one for this linkage (might've missed one) Really was surprisingly simple. Used pieces laying around the shop, a mig welder and a gas welding rig (to heat and bend) and a fair bit of head scratching to figure the necessary bends...probably got 5-6 hrs in it. I think one thing that made it simpler was being able to utilize the already existing 3/4" pedal rod as a mount for the new one, and the fact that from there was a straight shot from the hand lever to where the pedal support was. Used a short piece of 3/4" id pipe as the pivoting starting point. Had a brake rod off a dead chassis and fed it through for a reference point and with a couple pieces of 3/16" steel strap I started experimental bends. Then had to figure how to attach the rod to the hand control - didnt want to do any welding here - so came up with a 'U' bolt gizmo to mount a piece of angle to it that would pin the new rod to the hand control without altering it any. Then had to make up a pedal and mount it so that the motion with the foot would feel comfortable and still move the lever through the range from fwd to rev -- this was really the part that had me a bit concerned, once it was welded/mounted would be a pain to re-do. Another piece of scrap 1/8" plate from my pile, making a slight bend in it, I started again with 'test' fittings. This is what I ended up with. Thats a piece of mud flap I found on the side of the road some 15yrs ago, I have used that stuff sooo many times! I really liked the way that turned out. The tractor is down at the moment awaiting back ordered hyd fittings (those dang leaky hyd hoses) one reason I decided was a good time to do experiments I had in my "rountoit" list. Not having a seat mounted, I fabbed up a temporary one to sit and try the 'feel' of my new foot pedal - well, with just sitting there it feels pretty dang good!! Anxious to get a ride on it for real...
