Tony: foot throttle problem solved

Gov35

Member
Tony,
I finally solved the foot throttle problem on the 35 Gov. tractor by streaching a smaller sping inside the original one under the foot throttle, and that was enough to force it up back to the hand throttle linkage. Just thought
it might be easier than using the sole of you shoe all the time.
 
Agh but I like the way mine works... like a cheap cruise control, keep pushing till it rev's the way you want, and it stays there. I can squirm around in the seat, and I got short legs, there's two excuses right there!
When it's done at full throttle, and you got to shift gears anyway, you can just push the hand level back up... if I was in sandal or flip flop country that'd be different, but my feet and shoes don't mind..
 
Tony yours are better than mine was becasue I could not decrease the rpms with the hand throttle. The foot throttle would not even come up to the hand throttle linkage.
 
Linkage. Linkagezz?? There are so many little rods under the dash to operater both controls, they might be too gummed up- or bent? or adjusted to last owners whims? I would give every joint a good dose of penetrating oil... or did you already do this? I had to readjust the links on the turf 20 because -with the Perkins 3, I needed a bit more umph... realized I had the power at the carb, but the pedal linkage was holding it back. Not easy on the back or fingertips, but had to be done. THEN she rev'd up and did a day's work...
 
Everything was free and mostly new linkage as it was missing when I bought it. You have a Perkins 3 cylinder gas? I worked on one for some friends and not my favorite engine. Guzzled more gas than I thought it should, and changing plugs, forget it when engine was hot, as this had a vertical exhaust.
 
Um. This is why people pick on me for not liking the 100 series sheet metal. The bloody spark plugs are 2 layers down! Lots of important things you can't get at on a gas 3, no so bad with a 134 or 212, but still not like having the whole affair just flop out of your way in one motion. My 3 is very efficent, bit less than a US gallon an hour going 1650 rpm, but no where near the war stories of the diesel version... it's just that... I hate diesels....

I just ordered a few ball joints for the 35 mine from McMaster Carr, much easier with the dash off...which I've done.....so of course now I need a new steering wheel. :shock: And whadda ya know, it's all red up there! That settled it, if/when it gets painted it's going gray/red (or red/gray).
