F 3060

I don’t see any levers on my machine that looks like the parts breakdown illustration of the lever. I can’t tell exactly where the lever would be located with the parts breakdown schematic drawing, but I doubt I have the cruise option.

I don’t have it’ either. Mine was pretty loaded up, but you have to keep your foot on the pedal if you want to move.

I found a Youtube video of a machine with then cruise control option. The lever would be on the same panel as all the other levers. And yes, no cruise control on my machine. The pertinent section starts at around 3:30.

I have a few unused slots in my side console. One I believe is for an optional set of hydraulic remotes. The other might be for a cruise control.

Interesting video, thank you Doug!

I glanced at the F3060 operator's manual and did not see any mention of cruise control, but it looks like it was available as shown in the video and mentioned in the spare parts listing.

Looks like your mower's speed control linkage could've had that, but was never installed by customer choice?

Since it's a different linkage, it may only have one zerk fitting and it should be below the fender, where the pedal bushings & shaft are.

Arto,

I was beginning to think the same thing, although I cannot see any other linkage that might be related to the cruise control system. I am aware of where the pedal zerk is, so I have that one covered. Also, I am glad to hear I am not crazy.

I ordered speed related ball bearing and bushings will replace for a new reference point.

In the mean time I did grease/oil all related items seems a bit smoother. I did discover the cruise control handle interferes with the the 2 spd hydro handle. CC was pushing fast speed toward neutral.

In addition I'm running 24.12.12 which seems to rub the hydro handle. Not sure I would be using cc too many challenging cut areas. Those issues were resolved.

I have a few unused slots in my side console. One I believe is for an optional set of hydraulic remotes. The other might be for a cruise control.

Now that the cruise control linkage and control is brought up, I notice that there is a blank slot with a rabbit at one end of it and a turtle at the other end on the control panel. Now I know what its purpose is.

I also have two slots for hydraulic control, of which I have one set of remotes and their associated lever. It sure would be cool to have the quick connect linkage and a blade for the mower.

Does anyone have the flail mower?

 

[Doug Vee]

Sure wish I did. A 60” would be sweet!
