Have a question that I'm hoping someone has a fix
I have a 2638 HST , the peddles on the right side ie forward and reverse peddles are 2 1/2" off the deck. The peddles on the left side ( break peddles) are 5 3/4" off of the deck.

I can operate the forward and reverse peddles with my heel on the deck,but the break peddles are so far off of the deck that I have to lift my leg up to operate the peddle. Having to do this for any periods of time is very taxing. My left leg is partially paralyzed .
Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it.
Thanks , Alan

May I ask why you're using the brake pedal(s) so much? Whenever I let off of one of the right pedals, I stop almost immediately. Sometimes I "touch" the reverse pedal to come to a stop even quicker. Only time I use the brake pedals is to park on a slope.

If you're getting "creep", be sure to grease and lube the forward/reverse linkage under the operator deck.

He probably isn’t using the brake pedals a lot but with his partially paralyzed leg it gets very difficult and painful very quickly .
Maybe consider making a block of wood the correct height to make the brake pedals easier to reach with your bad leg, you could probably use a little silicone to hold the block in place.
