I've decided to start doing some more mods to my mud tractor, so here's my dumb question.

I want to instal a gas pedal on my tractor, but how do you hook it up so I can still use my choke lever? is it possible to have both working? and where is the best place to get a nice looking gas pedal? would I use a go kart pedal?

sorry if this is a noob question

thanks

Sure you can use a go kart pedal! I very nearly did, then had an idea I liked more. I left the factory throttle/choke control in the dash to control the choke only. Take a tour through the forum. I detailed in in the engines section if I recall. Im on my phone right now, a bit harder to dig up the link. My apologies.

My mtds all have seprerate choke and throtles. Ive herd its easy to put mtd chokes on other types of tractors and they cost around $10.

Ive seen people use bike handle bar levers for a choke lever. i wouldnt suggest them to you as a gas petal but they will work.

Stretch and I have the choke and gas separated on our machines... The gas pedals on ours were fabricated out of random scrap metal we had lying around.
You can get a little bit of an idea about how we did it by reading my build thread (in my sig).
