If'n your ready for your next venture, how about a foot control for the fuel. Many of us have front end loaders and what not would like another way to do 3 things at once. Sure would save my thumb. Good luck with the "Live Thang". Paul

Replica "Dowden" foot feed pedals (for 8N) are already available. I can usually supply them if you're interested.

John, I have a TO 35 with a Wagner WF3 that desppiratley needs a foot pedal, but, due to the brake pedal and running board arrangement, I can't use the Dowden setup. I'm thinking of making up a cable operated setup, but, I'm not completly sure where I should hook it up to. Am I correct in assuming that the Dowden setup hooks to the carburator side of the governor linkage, or to the carburator itself?
Thanks
Evan MacDonald

When I was just out of the Air Force back in 1959 I had to drive my brother in laws 8N about 20 miles up the road to do some post hole digging for him. It took me half a day to get there.

When I started home on the return trip I took a piece of wire and tied it to the throttle lever at the side of the carburetor and ran it back so I could pull it with my hand. It didn't take nearly as long to get back home as it did to get there. A pretty good testimony to what the little N engine will stand too! I'll bet that thing was turning at least 500 RPM. Didn't hurt it as far as I know but I would beat the crap out a child of mine that did the same thing (and got caught)

I did take the wire off when I got within hearing distance of home. Talk about slow!!!

We use to do the ole wire trick on the state tractors. Of coarse we drove those things all over creation.We had some i think they were 3000 Fords and we put straight pipes on them and widened all the wheels out as far as they would go and see who could mow the steepest hillside. That was back when they told us to mow anything we could get to. Now its nothing over a 3 to 1 slope.The crazy things we did back then. Terry-N-Mo
