i too used the spinner knob from northern and tried the tape the steering wheel cover to no avail then i used a lil bit of putty steel to place a ring around the steering wheel and immediately placed the spinner in the stuff and tightend it up and let it set for an hour or so now its almost permanet unless i decide to saw it off to replace /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I remember my first few hours on the PT. Both ankles hurt because they were not used to the treddle height and movement. My wrist gave me problems until I bought the spinner knob.
Now, I have my left hand on the spinner and the right hand on the attachment hydraulic lever. When not moving the hydraulic lever the right hand is holding on to the ROPS bar.
At first I thought my ankles would never get accustomed to the treddle height, now I never think about it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yeah, I put about 5-6 hours on the PT at the church yesterday. First time in months. I was a little stiff, but not as sore as those other guys using shovels and rakes! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

PJ is right - We almost universally agree that a spinner knob is really a huge improvement. I usually have one hand on the knob, and the other one either on the joystick, or more-often - on the ROPs bar. It provides a great place to stabilize yourself. In fact, I have been considering whether I should place 'gripper' material on both sides - I have been wearing the cheezy paint off.

Sincerely,

Yours is a fine looking machine /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Terry used yours to do the maintenance "show and tell" as they are out of stock. I envy you /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
