I frequently use my toes to lift the pedals rather than stomping down on them. Especially on long days where I need a break from repetative motion.

Interesting muffler. I've never seen that before.

Your shot of under the gas tank really shows how all the pumps are stacked in front of the engine, now, vs the way they are on mine. You can clearly see the two hoses that go from the variable volume pump to(I assume) the treadle valve. I wonder who makes this pump for them, if it is the same manufacturer as mine, but with a hydraulic ccontrol option, vs the cable control of my hydroback.

Very nice looking unit. I haven't seen mine outside for about a month now. There just isn't anything to do outside right now. I miss it /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

"" I find right foot down to go forward, and right toe lift to reverse is working just fine. Open for comments. ""



That method may be OK for mowing or just moving around on level ground, but you MUST learn to use both pedals!

When on uneven ground, both work best!

Quickly moving in, out, and around while mowing, both are best!

When moving in to pick up a load, both work best!

Moving a MiniHoe bucket into position, both work best!

I use both feet to slowly ascend and descend the stairs of my front porch. That would be impossible using your right foot method!! Just right foot might work OK going up, but backing down the stairs I must use the reverse pedal to move across the treads, and then quickly use the forward pedal to slowly and smoothly descend the risers!

Two footing was difficult for me at first, but now after 30 hours of practice, two footing has become nearly intuitive.



PS: Install a Suicide Knob to make your steering quicker, easier, and safer!!

NJBILL,

Great pictures. I have never liked the muffler in the engine compartment due to the amount of heat it provides. This seems to solve this issue. Could you take some pictures showing the opening in the engine hood where the exhaust pipe exits. I'm wondering if I could modify my existing PT422. A new muffler and some cutting on the engine hood.

thanks
Duane

Duane,
As you are looking at this set up and thinking, " Why didn't they centre the cut out around the manifold pipe. The front, or left hand edge, looking at the photos, is located right where the heat shield is bolted to the body. You will figure, no doubt that it is 4" X 4". I thought the 13&1/2 inches would be a good starting point.

thanks

Wow! these Blimp shots are really something, and I thought they were only for the golfers.

How about that cute little exhaust deflector, that's just in case you don't go fast enough to blow the heat backwards.

In case you want to use the handle as another reference point, lot's of luck with your challenge.
