has anyone put a "foot throttle" on their gt's? kinda like the old tractors had a throttle on the dash and then a pedal you could hit with your heel to rev it up. not exactly sure what it's called. on my case gt since it has the hydraulic drive when ya go up a hill, even a slight grade, it bogs the engine down quite a bit. so then ive gotta mess with the throttle on the dash to rev it up and then once i get over the hill or grade then ive gotta set the throttle back to what i had it at. itd be nice if i could just hit a pedal and rev it up a little. i have no idea how id make this work so i was wondering if anyone else has made one

I added one to my Power King , here’s the thread. Adding a foot throttle. Any questions let me know, it was well worth the effort

That looks nice, good job. How did ya hook the other end to the engine?

Sounds like you a non functioning governor.
I would start by fixing that.
Most foot pedals don’t actually control throttle.
They control the hydrostatic trans.
In your case hydrolic.
I don’t believe there’s much room under there
To do anything with that linkage.

Foot throttle would be nice. I wanted to put one on my LGT 100 ford years ago. But never did. Sons 1210 ford tractor has a foot throttle. Handy.

I wish I could remember exactly how but it wasnt that hard, a second cable that would override the hand throttle cable . Example : You set the hand throttle to half but you could use the foot throttle to go full rpm’s , let off and it would return to the hand throttle setting .

I just repaired this linkage on a kubota b6100. Its a nice thing to have. I think how exactly you inplement it just depends on what the factory linkage looks like. Can we get some pics of that on the machine in question?
