Matt’s conversion pedal

Recommended Posts

Will a snow plow blade work on a 520H when it is equipped with Matt’s conversion pedal?  Thanks

I don't have a Matt's foot control, but I have my own foot control on both my snow plow tractors, a 312H and a 520H.     They work great and IMO all snow machines should be hydros with hyd lift and foot control.       You may have to massage the blade angle lever to clear the foot pedal and foot rest.

It seems that with the angle lever pulled back in its furthest position you can not push the foot lever forwards even a small amount without them coming in contact with each other.

Sometimes turning the lever around on the pivot bolt works.    You just have to move the lever in to clear the pedal.    It may require reshaping the lever.

Here is an example of the changes I made to get the blade angle lever to clear the motion pedal.

I have the same setup on my 416-H, and I had the same problem. I found that if I lowered the blade a little from it's full UP location, the problem was lessened. I also reshaped the angle lever.

Here are some differences between yours and mine. Your lever needs to be mounted against the frame.

Then bend the angle lever out to miss the muffler.
