Well I have a more recent photo. The other ones were kind of old.

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.
 
                                  IN THE PHOTO BELOW THE SIDE BARS OF THE TILLER ARE MADE FROM WOODEN POLE AS WELL.
 
            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.
