Thanks ! 22 years without it, and I even owned an xi for a bit I personally didn't care for the foot pedal on it felt very awkward to me now on a sub compact 4wd with the side by side pedals vs the toe/heel rocker I am completely fine with that set up again personal preference here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I'll do is use the 520 H in the spring/ a little this winter , after adjusting that eccentric nut you were telling me about to get a good feel for the lever control...then most likely leave it factory. I think it will be fine when I get used to it. And besides I'm more often than not to keep my toys original when I can.

Its your rig do as you want, I was just stating what worked best for me, most people prefer the pedal which was an option, but I learned to basically operate this machine "feet free". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought they were only made by the fellow on Red Square who makes the conversion kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
