carlosking450 162 #1 Posted Sunday at 04:05 PM Hello, good afternoon from Spain. I’d like to install a pedal-operated throttle on my 702; has anyone done this modification who could share some ideas and perhaps a photo? Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 12,841 #2 Posted Sunday at 04:51 PM I believe that the garden Tractor Pulling Class rules require the use of a non-locking dead-man's throttle - check the Pulling Tractor section on the Forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To ensure proper lubrication and cooling a working Wheel Horse, it should be run at WOT (wide open throttle. The foot throttle on my dragster was not a working tractor. It was designed for show, wheel stands, speed, and speed shifting without using the clutch. Edited yesterday at 02:59 PM by Ed Kennell 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
