Take a deep breath, let it slowly. It is going to be fine.

I'll switch to decaf tomorrow. I wonder if tomorrow will ever get her?

That would help if you get “her”

My wife just got home and is bugging me.
That's gotta be the "her".

Awesome Possum! I can't wait to see.

I ordered a kit from Messicks yesterday. They said my kit is backordered so it may be a couple weeks.
I look forward to seeing the install too.

Ok guys, got my kit yesterday and just installed it. Easy install, takes about an hour or so. The kit for the X series RTVs is V5245, it runs about $150. Have your dealer order it on a stock order and no freight is added. The hole is predrilled for the throttle location, it’s covered by a heavy vinyl tape, do not destroy it! You need half of it to cover part of the hole not used. The picture will explain. I also painted the big ugly silver flat washer black to make the job look better. Kubota cut a corner there. Here are some pics


You can see how I cut the existing
Hole cover to dress the final installation. There should have been a bezel that was labeled “Hand Throttle “ included in my opinion. But it works great. You can operate your RTV just like your HST tractor now. Set your RPM and use the accelerator pedal to control the ground speed. It will have to help when pulling loads I would think. I think it’s worth the money, see what you think

Looks like your "instructions" are printed on the knob assembly.

Can you post a pic of the other end? So future readers can relate their particular injection pump assembly to yours.

I will. It’s pretty straightforward and spelled out in the installation instructions
