Well I gave myself it over twenty hours on this tractor and decided the foot throttle could be a little more convienient to use. This first pic shows the original position of the foot throttle.

Although it is hard to tell from the pic, the throttle was out quite a ways from the brake pedal and almost as high as the top of the brake pedal. Was hard for me to get my toe on it with out having to lift my whole foot off the deck.

Five minutes with the Hot Wrench and foot throttle is now in a much more comfortable position. I moved it in towards the brake pedal and down an inch or so. Is much easier to get a toe on it now.

Just another view showing the foot throttle to be more even with the brake pedals instead of above them.
