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
