Foot Pedal Assembly for Wheel Loader

Compact Wheel Loader- Todays picture shows a smaller project I am working on . The last couple weeks I got the idea I want to convert my dash mounted throttle control to a foot pedal throttle control. So this morning I did a quick design in my head and picked out some metal pieces and started cutting, bending and drill holes. My neighbor gave me two old foot pads from his motorcycle and I decided to use one of them to go on the front side of the pedal. I mounted a large spring on the left side and built a cover over it and then built an adjustable bracket for the cable . It looks like it is going to work great. I will take it apart next and paint all the parts.
Gaylord Snow – We are getting a inch or two of lake effect snow today .
Pepsi and Peanuts- As a young boy I loved going to the peanut machine at the corner gas station and put a penny in it and get a small pile of spanish peanuts. Then I would take a quarter and get a bottle of Pepsi out of the machine . Then I would dump the peanuts in the bottle of pop.
I did that a few times a year my whole life.
Today must have been the day because I had to stop and get a Pepsi and we always have a couple cans of spanish peanuts in the house. So I dumped some peanuts in my Pepsi and it was just like old times. yum
There is actually one day a year set aside for ( Peanuts in your pop day ) Many people did it with Coke too.
Baby it’s Cold outside !! in the teens and a cold nw wind brrr.
Christmas Tree is UP !!! We have a three week limit at our house for our Christmas Tree . Some people put theirs up early and we know a person who just leaves it up all year because Christmas comes back so quickly , ha,ha.
Maybe Deb will want to start doing that at our house, ha, ha,ha,
Have a great FRIDAY !!
