TD5 Hand Throttle

TheLastMaverick · Jan 22, 2021

I have done a search and only come up with very old posts, are there any options for Fast Idle or Hand Throttle for the TD5? if not I will design and build my own. just thought if there was a commercial option at a reasonable price It may save me some time.

There was a power take off option, there is a small rubber bung on the steering column right hand side where the power take off operator would go.
I have not seen one or know how it operated but I would have thought it would have some throttle increase device. Other than a brick on the accelerator.

Hi yes I know there was a factory option used mainly on PTO installed TD5's I think it was a £1100 option at the time and was never available as an option as a post delivery add on.

What I had in mind was a fast idle to warm the engine in the cold mornings plus a hand throttle for use when winching and jump starting.
