Narrow frame hydro foot control
 

Finally got somewhere one my project tractor this weekend and took it out for a test run, it's a 102 frame with a 1650 ported transaxle, 680 front axle with 1" spindles, 73 hood and grille, rebuilt 12 H.P. bored .010 over and foot controlled hydro, I was unsure when I started this project if I wanted to control the hydraulics or the hydro with a foot pedal I think I made the right choice, It's a blast to run, a few minor things to go over yet then it's tear it all down for paint, I think this one will be IH red since I still have some left from painting my Blazer.

Another pic

Way to go Sawman :ThumbsUp:
Thats going to look good all painted up.

Nice mods and tractor, Sawman! :beerchug:

Sawman,

That's a pretty tough looking tractor you have there. Looks like you have done some nice work.

Do you have any pictures of how you hooked up your foot pedal to the hydro?

Coooool ! That is definitely unique! :bigeyes:

Hey Thanks Guys, here's a few more pics, I hope you can make heads or tails out of it, hard place to get good pics. I put the hydro control shaft right in front of the brake cross shaft. The shaft for the hydro is out of the 680 just cut the handle off it, and grind a notch in it and added an inch or so where the linkage bolts on, used channel iron for the brake pedal to clear the tension nut and shaft for the hydro, all the linkage rods are from the 1650, brake linkage I used a turnbuckle (I cheated :HeeHee: ) The linkage that pulls it into neutral when the brake is pushed is about all I have to fine tune yet. If I get this finished before the snow lands here my 149 and 126 won't get to play it.

Ok, here's a dumb question....how are you bringing the hydro foot pedal back to neutral? I don't see any springs in there at all...

No springs to return back to neutral, just roll the pedal back with your heel, or front if going in reverse, just like it is on the dash.

I would add some springs so that it can return to neutral by itself as a bit of a safety feature. Every tractor I've seen built with a foot control hydro has pedals that return to neutral by themselves.
