Even with that my foot will slip sometimes when pushing the pedal down because of the straight downward motion. Has anybody modified the pedal itself to keep from slipping like this? Thats the one thing I dont like about Massey"s. Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

I guess he went low tech and just wrapped the pedal with that sandpaper like stair tread self adhesive stuff.   [Reply]  [No Email]

It provides just enough grip to keep my foot from sliding. I also put a few into the platform underneath, so I don"t slip of.   [Reply]  [No Email]

This tends to act as a stop, and hinders your foot from "sliding" sideways off the pedal, Evan.   [Reply]  [No Email]

That rod sticks on low voltage rather than burning, and when you break it free it leaves a rough dimple. A bunch of those points works wonders. You can get really fancy and arrange them in a geometric pattern, but I didn't. If you're doing in to a clutch pedal on the tractor, be sure to attach the ground clamp to the clutch arm proper, so the current won't flow through any bearing surfaces. It can cause pitting, and lead to failure.   [Reply]  [No Email]
