Hydrostat pedal on L47

Carriage bolts would be good if you could drill a square hole so you could snug them up good.

A little hand work with a very small triangular file will quickly make those two holes square.

Well, I have an update.

I decided that I liked the "wing" on the left side of the HST petal, so I installed a permanent one much like Hersheyfarm's. I made mine from a piece of 1/4 x 2 x 12 inch aluminum and 1/4 inch carriage bolts and a square drill bit. Some nonskid tape and I'm happy with the results.

My chain storage is a piece of 4 inch pvc. The 20 inch tool box is from Rural King. Using some square tube, I added 1 1/2 inch to the seat height.
Thanks for some great ideas from all the smart folks on this forum.

Excellent!
Looks like OEM!

Nice. I think the reason Kubota put the wing on the right side is because machines with clutches have the brakes beside the throttle, and the wing would crowd the brakes. It makes all the difference having it on the left side.
