While I hurry up and wait on the engine refurbish, I figured now's a good time to start on the heel/toe forward/reverse.
I machined a pair of bushings from UHMW with a 1" OD and 1/2" ID to mount the cross shaft. Those will fit in the bosses that the deck lift rocker shaft went through. A collar on each inboard end will keep the shaft from side shifting. Two more got welded to either side of the link lever. Then two ball joints to complete the link up to the trans lever.
I'll find a couple pedals from a small wrecked car for my heel/toe lever.
Once I have the engine together and out of the way, I'll start on the bucket.
