Hand throttle for my 80

[LandCruiserPhil]

My 80's has been good all year so I saw it fitting to get it something for Christmas.

I have wanted a hand throttle to kick up the RPM's when running the Puma. The factory version from Slee is like $150 almost the same for the SOR unit. My 80 has been good but not that good. So I went a searching found this nice unit from a Toro tractor (I think) on EBay and in my price range. Placed my order and in a few days it showed.

I needed a nut and a cable stop in addition to the unit I purchased off Ebay. I found the couple items needed in my garage of crap.

The fit is perfect and it works great.

hand throttle <->automatic transmission does not compute

They're good for people who can't operate a brake with the left foot.

May work for your compressor but a Puma needs more then the AC can offer.

Excellent alternative to the factory knob. Now everyone will want the LandcruiserPhil Limited Edition

Same problem if you go OEM.

I just used a cable stop at the pedal assembly. I have used it several times since installed 100% happy.

Yeah, I know. My neighbor has a '96 that is a pavement pounder. I think he would let me swap pedals if I gave him a sixer.

They're used to make the engine idle at a higher RPM. Keeps the alternator charging when winching.
The 60 had this option as well, installed on those with factory PTO winches IIRC.
