Default Help converting hydrostatic hand control to feet

Hey not sure if this is the right place to ask this but any help given would be much appreciated. I have a 1450 and I am looking at moving the hydrostatic controls from being hand operated to a foot control unit. They are fine for mowing but when using the plow or blade your hands are plenty busy, and if I could move some of the control to my feet that would be great. I am sure there is someone out there that has done this before and I am looking for any links or photos or just advice before I get started. Thanks

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
