I used a 3/8-16 hex coupler nut, (the same as the thread on the end of the existing lever) and used it to connect the extension to the lever.
Thread the knob on and finished.
I used the tractor to mulch leaves for 4 hours this afternoon. Mannnn, should have done this sooner! It makes a huge difference not having to lean over as far to reach the original lever. I knew in reverse the lever would be closer to my leg, but really no problem.
Nice thing, it can easily be put to back original.
Even my grandson approves!
