In this photo you can see that it is a little more recent, yet not quite up to date.
HERE IS HOW I MADE THE TILLER
(TO STEER THE FRONT NOSE WHEEL AT SLOW SPEEDS, KIND OF LIKE A STEERING WHEEL)
IN THE PHOTO BELOW YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CENTER IS A NARROW PIECE OF PVC. THE PVC THEN HAS A PIECE OF WOODEN POLE IN THE MIDDLE EXENDING TO THE BACK.
AND IN THE PHOTO BELOW THE HANDLE PART OF THE TILLER IS COPPER PIPE. I PUT GROOVES ON IT WITH A VISE. I THEN PUT MASKING TAPE AROUND THE TILLER AND PAINTED IT.
IT IS FASTENED BY DRILLING A HOLE IN THE WHITE PAINTED PLYWOOD. IT IS ALWAY HELD WITH A SPRING AND ANOTHER SUPPORT IN THE BACK.
I GLUED A POTIENTOMETER TO IT (WHICH IS FROM A JOYSTICK THAT I TOOK APART), AND THE POTIENTOMETER IS GLUED TO A PIECE OF WOOD.
THIS SAVED ME A LOT OF MONEY. THE TILLERS FOR SALE ARE NOT CHEAP!!!
FEEL FREE TO COMENT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM.
