Used 5/16 mild steel rod, yoke and ball end.

Made a template with a coat hanger and then got to bending. Between the hydro cylinder supports and to the side of vertical lift arm.

Made the pedal from parts on hand. Large hinge and 3/4 square tube.

Added a filler piece of pressure treated wood in the steel frame.

Field trials coming up.

Looks good. Might have to do something similar at some point on one of mine.

Lookin good!!

 

I have my C-175 with the Eaton 1100 down now for some other repairs and have had my eye wandering over that hand control for several days now and I already had a few ideas -- now I have a couple more!! The C with Eaton is a good bit different but still...

:woohoo:   That looks GOOD! My GT-14 has a front end loader and the direction control and two levers for the loader plus a steering wheel can make you wish you had an extra pair of hands. Let us know how the test drive goes.   :text-thankyouyellow:

      I have a question about the 69’ model. I took my tank out to work on carb easier. A couple weeks later as I put it back together & after cleaning everything; I replaced the white weatherstripping that was at bottom of tank and on the corners of the strap. Seems to be all that holds it in place. Because the strap around the tank will not go around the metal bracket on bottom and fit the tank. And even if it did the strap would only line up with the bracket mounting bolts which would be in the way. What did I miss? Didn’t pay close enough attention when I took it apart and can’t see in the parts diagram where the strap does go around the bracket. The weather stripping is tacky enough that the tank stays in place and it is a made to fit perfectly in position. Just seems that the metal strap is pointless.

      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.

      I have a old gt14 and the plastic plates or control panels are way past their prime, and I saw someone was remarking them with a 3d printer a little while back and I was looking to se if I could find the file but no luck. If anybody has info that would be amazing. Thanks for your time and anything helps.

      I am currently doing a ring, piston, hone rebuild on a K 321 off a Ford LGT 145 Tractor  on this machine they actually welded the rails to the bottom pan (see pics). My intention here is to put this puppy in a red machine (312-8 or GT14). I definitely have the small pan with the expanded bottom for the long dipper.
      Here's my questions:
      > Can I carefully remove the rails from the pan, cutoff the old front axle mounting bracket(s) and then drill holes in  the flanges to mount  to the Wheel Horse rails.
      > Since the engine is side mounted will the expanded bottom fit between the standard Wheel Horse rails?
      > If not possible to make this old pan work what flat pan would work and do I need to get the expanded bottom one (big dipper}
      > any recommendations here would be appreciated don't want to go down to many blind holes here...….
       
      Thanks much!

      Saw a gt14 for a really good price on Craigslist yesterday went and looked at it last evening, ended up buying it . It’s a 68 or 69 gt14 but I’m not exactly sure which. It’s in decent condition and seems to be complete. It has a really nice complete three point hitch and a really nice three point tiller. I didn’t think the seat and muffler were original but I looked at a manual and it turns out they are. I’m gonna try to get it running for the big show but if I don’t I will still take it. The best part is I bought it from a super nice guy that knows a lot about wheel horses. Some of you might know him, his name is Less, sorry didn’t catch his last name. He has been going to the wheel horse show since the beginning and personally knew Cecil and Betty Pond. He used to have 74 tractors but he narrowed it down to his favorite three. Overall it was a really good day. I got to meet a really nice guy, get another tractor and hear some good stories. Here are a few pictures of the gt14 and tiller. I am gonna start working on it this Sunday. 
      Tractor or serial number 

        
      Tiller serial number
