Well Peter proceeded to tell us how delicious his lobster was and didn’t even show us a picture.  He may have been eating sardines for all we know!

You boys stop up to Maine. I'll even buy the lobsters...

Always good to see another Texan working on a horse.  Theirs lots of help here, so don't hesitate to ask for help on how to repair worn area or how to go about anything. 

@pacer over in Shreveport while not close, is probable the closest member to you. 

Oliver pacer is only about 45mins from me!

I was wandering are the parts on these tractors cast iron? I broke this off of the foot pedal and was wanting to weld it back together..

Mower, yes its cast iron I believe. 

It can be welded but I'm not sure how strong it would be for a control pedal.

Maybe someone here has a spare laying around.

What's the print on the foot surface of the pedal?

I am not sure what this means Ebinmaine.

Is it a plain pedal with no words? Or does it have something cast into it like CLUTCH or BRAKE?

It says "BRAKE"

[ebinmaine 63,275]

It would be a good idea to put an ad in our Wanted Section. I can check with a couple guys up here too just for kicks.

Readily available replacements. Place a “wanted” in classifieds or go directly to K&B or A-to-Z in our vendor list.

Cast iron is, as you likely know, weldable but good resulting strength at the joint is challenging. I agree with @Mickwhitt that a welded, safety-related part would be a concern for me.

Well I guess I am ready to start cleaning parts!

Yep, its that time!

Thanks to @richmondred01 I have a new brake pedal coming and new hubs. I may or may not have broken one this evening trying to get it off.

[Pullstart 59,828]

Glad ‘red could help.  I’d have sent ya a pedal no problem!    When you drive fast and take chances, there’s no need for BRAKE pedals!

@richmondred01 what size bolt is that?

Bolt size is optional.  

Can be anything above ¾ or so really.  

@Achto what's your puller got for a center bolt?

 

[Handy Don 10,656]

Easier to control the force being applied if the bolt has a fine thread.

I went with a 1”x6 1/2. I just got the nut welded on and letting it cool off so I can drill the lug holes
