bx2200 foot pedal linkage

Let me see if I am understanding this right. Two bolts connect the speed control pedal to a piece that's fixed to the tractor's frame. As you rock the speed control pedal, the part attached to the frame rocks with it. There is a long silver rod that's bent at each end (its 130 in the picture from your dealer) piece , and it connects the speed control pedal to the piece controlling the actual speed - which is by the hand levers. The long silver piece is just connected with clips that look like bent paper clips at one end, but it's threaded at the other.

This linkage runs along the inside of the frame, and you could probably access without removing anything if the connection under the speed pedal is unhooked. If you remove the step (which is a pain) and the fender (which is easy once the step is removed) you can very easily access all of the linkages. I did this with the step removed, and, again, it was very easy and pretty straight forward.

linkages run from the bottom of the piece attached to the frame along the inside of the frame rail to connect to

I***8217;m probably making a bigger deal out of it. Removing the step is easy, just be sure to remove the speed pedal and both knobs that are under the seat. Mine was a pain because neither of those plastic knobs would come off and I tried to remove the step with them in place. That was a mistake! I eventually just cut those knobs off and bought new ones. They were pretty cheap.

I've done a bunch of these. They come with a 5/16-24 nut and a lock washer and they commonly fall off. I don't like using a lock nut because they're a pain in the butt to get to anyway and tightening a lock nut makes it that much harder. A non-locking flange nut works just as well in this application. It can be done under the tractor. It ain't easy but it's a lot easier than pulling the ROPS, fenders, floor, seat, fuel tank and a bunch of other stuff just to gain access to it.
