Kentuck ,and lonnie,I made the pedal set up my self and took a long time getting it to be comfortable,your right it does travel with the lift arm and moves about 2in. and is spring loaded,I have small feet"8 1/2" and the pedal doesnt get in the way at all,I tried every kind of posistion before I welded it together,I wish I had hyrolic lift on it though it would be sweeter. kenny m.
