Hey Rusty, it's hard to give suggestions without knowing the whole story with what has happened to the tractor. What I was trying to get across was the idea that there are a number of things that could be causing his tractors issues, and without knowing the whole story, any suggestion would be no more than a guess. What you do with your equipment is of course your business, but there is no need to modify something that has worked for over 60 years as is. What one person may consider "better", another may look upon as a "disaster". Plus, your suggestion would not work in Joe's scenario. Your problem with the elongated holes would allow the lever to move forward without affecting the actual throttle setting, leaving the tractor at idle until the slack was taken up. Joe's problem is just the opposite, by moving the lever, the throttle goes from idle to full RPM with just one notch. He has a different problem, and it will require a different solution.
