Just bought the tractor from a neighbor, but have used it before. Seems to me that I recall pressing the forward pedal on the HST and getting throttle response as well as selecting fwd/rev. Thought maybe a linkage was loose/missing, but don't see where it could be missing from! Looks like a hole for a link in the throttle lever, but nothing on the arm from the HST shift mechanism. Am I mistaken about the throttle control?

Nope no fwd/reverse lever on mine, only the HST pedal. Those blank spots adjacent to your LMH lever is for the cruise control option. I don't have on mine either but the sticker for it is there.

You are in Italy? Perhaps the Euro L3800 is not the same as the US L3800, but the foot pedal on the American one only controls the HST. The only throttle control is the lever beside the steering wheel.
