I just put the foot stomp back on it and if I were to ever go with a automatic I would want to keep it if possible,anybody know if its doable. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | any automatic has a built in bellhouse, which won't have the mounts for the linkage, and any starter that would work with the flex plate will have a key start solenoid, so you'd hafta rig your own, which would be a push switch on or under the floor with the pedal button attached
Bill | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 | Here's what I came up with to have a foot starter with my 250/200-4R in my 57 3100. I used a foot starter switch for a tractor (Tractor Supply #0236643} . It will bolt to the floor and fit through the hole for the stock linkage. I built an adapter to allow me to attach the stock foot pedal to the switch. Here's a pic of the parts . And a pic of it assembled . After installing the rubber boot over it, it should look nearly stock. Comments welcomed. regards, Leon | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 232 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 232 | Nice work Leon. Seems like a perfect reply.
