foot throttle

[pennwalk]

I was reading an article in Green Magizine talking about the beauty of customization in antique JDs and what a shame it is that restorers remove interesting additions to get their tractors back to factory. Could it be that a Japanese farmer got tired of tripping over the foot throttle and took it off? Thats a kind of customization isn't it?
Having said that if other 1700 have it maybe you can get the parts and restore it to factory./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

My YM1301D has one.
My YM1110D does NOT.
The F15D does.

My YM1700 (red) does not have the foot throttle. Based on what I have heard from others, the foot throttle and thermostart was optional equipment.

My 155D does not have one, and I have been told that this hand throttle moves the opposite direction of the grays.

Bob, I'm sitting here looking at the original advertising literature for the lime green YM155D and it lists "throttle pedal" as standard US equipment right along with the offset drawbar, thermostart, and oneway clutch on the PTO. Any chance yours had that pedal at one time?

I've been looking at it. There are no cutouts or provisions for it in the right .. um.. floorboard... I soppose it could have been mounted to the side, etc. My hand throttle is a push off, style.

There is a protruding post from the side of the transmission housing that isn't hooked to anything.. but it is a big post... possibly something like possible opposite of where the clutch pedal is mounted on the other side. Any of you fine ym1700 owners out there have a digital cmaera? Could someone post a picture of their linkages and hte pedal setup on that side. Also, the gentleman with the red yanmar with no pedal, could I get a picture of your tractor on that side as well?

I have a strange idea. I've seen the green 1700's, and the red 1700's... I was told that my tractor was rebuilt when i bought it.. I wonder wha tthe possibility that my tractor used to be a red yanmar, and had the hood assemblies changed out? Ideas?

Soundguy,
The foot throttle does not go through a cut-out in the floorboard. I think it is kinda hinged/suspended from a post on the engine block. I will try to remember to snap a coiuple of pics tonight when I get home. I need to go out and re-introduce myself to the Yanmar anyway. I haven't seen it for 2 months.

Interesting... I think my tractor may have that post that you are talking about...
