GerryR Report post Posted November 25, 2023 I put this together for a project I started for a Chinese patcher. Probably nothing new, but it makes for a nice portable unit not having to have to setup on a bench and use the provided rods. I used a bicycle handbrake and cable and made the adapters for the Enduro side and fabricated the foot pedal. Works pretty well. I thought it might give others some ideas.

dikman Report post Posted November 25, 2023 That's a very clever design. A neat way of converting the hand lever to foot operated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GerryR Report post Posted November 26, 2023 It turned out that the stroke of the hand grip was perfect for the stroke of the Enduro drive speed control arm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is an Enduro Pro SM645B-2P drive I bought off of ebay a couple of years ago. I bought two of them. I have another patcher, the cast iron version, bench mounted, using the other unit. I recently bought this patcher off of ebay for short money and was surprised when I received it that it had an aluminum alloy frame, and the control arms were chrome plated, sort-of. Because of its weight, I thought it would be a good candidate for a portable unit, hence another project was born.
