I’m also curious about this. I tried to wrap my head around this on my 1450 but aside from cutting the dash apart I didn’t know how to make it a fluid motion from forward to reverse, as you have to pull it right or left.

Looks good! I also look forward to the YouTube!

If you added a Foot Control (with spring loaded RTN) to your older cub you may find your foot will get tired on long runs.

If you retained the hand control lever, you can add a "Cheap Guy Cruise Control" and give your foot a rest.

Piece of pickup bed liner, notched at your favorite cruise speed, works well.

Flip it on and off. Panic stop with the Left pedal will disengage it.

Enjoy,

Ike

Ike, if the dash lever has a lock with a notch cut in it to hold the lever, how would it return to neutral with the foot lever? It would be locked on the dash....

Why would your foot grow any more tired with a RTC spring over any other foot controlled hydro??

Since the 'Cheap Guy Cruise Control" is made out of soft bed liner material the Foot Lever easily over comes it, (normally I would just depress the foot control slightly and push it aside.

Different linkage geometry than OEM, perhaps the age of the driver, bad disk in the back, etc. may have something to do with it. ;-)

Plus, sometimes a guy does something to these machines just to see if it works. Like the light on my dash that comes on when the mower deck is up.

Take Care,

Ike

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
