Cub Cadet Accelerator Pedal
 

I saw these pedals on some Cub Cadet pullers at a tractor show a couple of weeks back .As soon as this site will stop bumping me off I'll post them

Looks rather fun to have something like that on a gear drive

I want to add one for my hydrostat. Instead of using the "lever" I prefer a foot pedal.

Jim:

Maybe they are a foot controlled Throttle....:Huh:

Your idea of a foot peddle on a hydro will only be a hindrance.
To run one correctly with max. hp ,you run them full throttle all the time and control the ground speed with the hydro lever.

I think he's refering to a treadle style hydro control like on the new Cub Cadets. Not the throttle control.

There have been some custom made hydro foot controls made. Most of them were for loader Cubs where you are moving forward and back and needing to use the lift controls with your hands... oh and steer too.

I personally like the handle better than a foot pedal.

Sorry.....I may have misread the original post. I thought these pedals were pictured on "puller tractors". I am reasonably sure, that 95% of all puller tractors are GEAR DRIVES.

:HeadScratch:

Roland
No need to apologize these were on pullers and were all gear drive.

I agree a foot control for the hydrostatic would be a great feature!
 

I agree a foot control for the hydrostatic would be a great feature. A lot of times one cant grow enough hands to operate everything.
Like if you are using a loader or a blade.:beerchug:

I really need this DEAR!

:bigthink:
I think you R wrong on this. It would be a great idea! I seldom run mine at full throutle.

Foot pedal on hydrostat.
 

If I remember correctly I saw a new Cub with a foot pedal hydrostat that had a loader on it.
I thought what a great idea!!
Any of you gear heads have an Idea please share it with us!
ole 147


Honest dear I really need it.

ole 147,
You might want to check into running a half throttel or just plain under full throttel.I belive the kohlers ar meant for running full throttel for propper cooling,NOW I could be wrong and just posting what I have heard from someone along the lines!!!

I always run mine at full throttel because of this!!!

Jason

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS mow/plow/blow snow, etc. at full throttle. The engine will not cool properly otherwise.

I think we got off on the wrong foot here.
I 'm not talking about the throttle I talking about foot peddle for the hydro instead of using the big chrome handle.
ole 147

Full throttle?
 

what is your fuel use per hour running full throttle?:bigthink:

I agree with ole147, I was running my 1882 with a bucket today and my levers are on the left and the speed ratio is on the right and the wheel is in the middle and I think you get the picture.:bash2:

I went to the Cub Dealer this morning out near Benton, PA Rt 239.
The Cub Yamara or something like that. I looked at it ,and yes it has a hydro peddal.
It also has a price tag of $17,000. A cab & 4 wheel drive too.:bigthink:
Hey I can trade in my car get this drive it to work. Only 1 seat I can solve that, I can haul my wife in the bucket..:biggrin2.gif:
What do you think?
ole 147

Now you have the idea! :Bowdown2:
Any help would be great!!!!

ole 147

I think that wives in the bucket are a good idea! :beerchug:

If I had a front loader, i would definitely want a foot pedal for the hydro. I drove a Simplicity regent or higher model number and let me tell you have well this tractor felt with the foot pedal for hydro. The thing felt like a Cadillac of mowers(even though it's not as tough as the IH Cub') but I give credit where credits due.

That is where I like the ideal of foot pedal hydro. So if I have an attachment like a front loader I can control rather "juggle" the controls with the steering wheel.

I haven't started on any mods to this yet but still planning.

Dang I posted this over 2 months ago. What caused everyone to finally notice it?

Yes I agree if it were for a tram peddle, forward reverse.

He said he wanted one like the ones pictured., Me knowing they were gear drives and knowing that is was a throttle peddle, wouldn't be something that would work well on a hydro.

My Bolens has a tram peddle. and for mowing the book recommends 3600 rpm's { wide open } for quality cut.

I would love to have foot control for my 125. I have a JD X320 with the pedals for controlling motion and it's great. I did find this on another Cub site showing a foot controlled set up.

Hi T-MO
Thanks for sharing the hydro pedal picture, I really like that one.Where did you find this setup?

Sorry, it took me so long to get back to you. I found that set up here: http://www.ihcubcadet.com/cgi-bin/discus/discus.pl

I can't remember where. Do a search on the site and you should come up with some hits. Unfortunately the site separate their topics - it's just random posting by dates.

murry used that setup for ages and it worked well

Hey!
I asked about this months ago, all I got was static. :BB&YS:
I have a 147 with a F E loader and I don't have enough hands to operate it.:bash2:
A foot control would be great...
Any help would be great! :biggrin2.gif:

Just so you won't feel like your getting anymore static. I have a Ford garden tractor with a foot pedal forward/reverse for the hydro unit but of course it still has a drive belt from the engine.I'll see if I can send any pic that may give you some ideas.

ole 147
You ever make the trip to Shamokin you can look at my project tractor. 102 frame with a 1650 hydro transaxle and foot pedal controled. It isn't finnished yet just a free time project.

Ole 47
I took a couple pictures of the hydro pedal on my Ford YT16 H

I know to run at full throttle when doing work with the tractor. Im not sure where i saw it at but thought this would help.

Using a marine blower motor for cooling if you could get it to fit up under the steering column somehow or in front of motor possibly.

I'm with you there.
I'll have to wait until I heal up more.
I got in trouble with my doctor yesterday.:BB&YS:
I installed a dish washer for my wife, he wasn't to happy with me.
I can't help it I'm tired of sitting around not doing anything...
Can't lift anything over 10 # or use anything that vibrates.

I just sat on my 147 today and dreamt about moving dirt.:biggrin2.gif:

Any updates about this. I myself am trying to figure out how to put a foot control on my 105 as I'm in the process of building a FEL.

Ok,got to looking tonight and decided to try something. I started by removing the two roll pins on the brake pedal shaft,one holds the rocker shaft,the other keeps the assembly from moving side to side as a whole.I then disconnected the three rods from the rocker shaft,one to the brake on the rear,one to the lever on the dash and the other locks the lever when the pedal is held down.I pulled the pedal/shaft out and reinstalled it from the other side(right sitting on seat). Now without the Speed Control Cam(we'll call it SCC) connected to the lever on the dash,there is no resistance,therefore the SCC moves too easily(bad thing with a heavy pedal on the end of the shaft) So what I came up with is to leave the SCC connected to the dash lever and run a second rod with a clevis on both ends and an adjusting turnbuckle. One clevis will be connected to the SCC using the same bolt that secures the rod to the dash lever,and the other end(clevis) to the rocker shaft hooked to the pedal.I see no reason why this won't work. My only problem(s) is the brake on the rear,somehow needs to be secured in position so it doesn't engage on it's own and the rod that locks the dash lever in the neutral position(it automatically engages on it's own). I think these are more annoyances then problems really.
So what do ya'll think? Not a mod for the purist,but I want my machine to suite me,so I really don't care

How about some pictures or drawings....???

:WWP:

No pics yet. Not sure how I could draw it ?

If you're going to put it on a dedicated loader tractor, get rid of the lift handle (it's in the way anyway, or at least it is on my 124 FEL) and make up a forward/reverse pedal to go in its place. Use two strong springs with an adjustable mount on the ends of both springs (this begs for a drawing but I don't have time at the moment) so you can adjust the pedal until it re-centers at neutral. You want return springs so the hydro can't fly to full speed ahead if your foot slides off...that could be deadly on a loader. You may also need some kind of damper. Strong springs might be enough to damp out the oscillation you'd induce if your foot slid off the pedal. I haven't tried this yet, so I don't know. I'll be making one (and probably drawing plans) when I build up a 682 for my loader.

Matt,

I agree about getting rid of the lift handle, I don't know if I could get my right leg in between the loader upright and the handle if it was there.

If you leave the F/R operating mechanism in place (and hooked up) couldn't you adjust the friction on it to use as a damper? The springs could do their work and the F/R mechanism would just keep the springs from "snapping" it back to center, which could be equally dangerous (I'm thinking "heavy load", "snap" back to center, momentum, loader bucket hits ground, operator bucked off seat, flies forward just in time for rear wheels to hit ground again, operator smashes face into hood, accidentally stomps on pedal again...) ?

What I was thinking. Lift handle was removed long ago
