Thanks Greg,
I'm really looking for the details on the linkage and how it interacts with the hand throttle.
Can someone that has one installed share installation instructions or good pictures of the linkage?
Thanks!
Steve

I understand the desire protect his interest here, but the reality of it is I'm going to make one myself either way. My approach will always be to do what I can myself and buy what I can't. A large part of that is being raised by depression dirt farmers who's only option was if you break, you make it. I am protecting my own interest by making what I can, spending my time vs. my money, in the interest of spending my money (of which I don't have a limitless supply) on what I absolutely have to (like more tractors). We could say the same thing about every mechanic's shop, they are good at what they do, so we should preserve their interest by giving them our patronage, yet most of us by far do our own work. Many places you can draw this line.
So, regardless if I get any answers here or not, I'll figure out a way to do this and it will work and I will learn by doing so. Just thought I'd ask.
Thanks,
Steve
(quoted from post at 15:03:54 01/15/14) That's a valid point Joe, but I'll counter with a couple things, I do value my time at less than $10/hour in this case, because it's my time, my tractor, not to mention I take a lot of enjoyment out of solving problems like this and taking on a challenge.
Regarding "why reinvent the wheel?", I'll counter that with, who knows what I may come up with in the process of doing this myself that may help everyone as well. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got.
I get the functional requirements of the foot feed, was just looking for generally how it's done.
I'll also throw in, that like many here, my time is waaaaaaaaaaaaayy more plentiful than my money these days.
Thanks,
Steve
Even though there were no laws broke or patents infringed, I just wish he had shown Zane that same respect.There used to be sort of a gentlemen's agreement here where no one would post photos of the Zane Thang. The reason being that it was so marvelously simple it could easily be copied and that would be an injustice to Zane's genius and proprietory interest.
I would say the same ought to apply to the repop foot feed from Red Rock.
ry this . Remove the *(quoted from post at 23:46:12 01/14/14) Does someone have good pictures and description of the foot throttle? I'd like to fab my own up but need to know what parts I need to make and where they go.
Thanks in advance!

I agreed with your thought process 100%. That's why I didn't post a pic of either of their gadgets!Let folks do as they wish.

Wasn't meaning to malign anyone, just seemed like his came along after what we all considered to be Zane's idea.Hold on, you're maligning Phil unjustly.

I would say the same ought to apply to the repop foot feed from Red Rock. I've met Phil the owner and found him to be a decent, hard working, creative individual. He took an item for which the patent and availability are long gone and brought it back to the market.
That's a good thing and he should be rewarded for it.
If there is money to be made from selling those food feeds and other historic N add ons I hope he makes it.
I personally would not post photos which could only stand to cut into his interest.
