[AT] MF 471 throttle vs. accelerator

[Len Rugen]

I've noticed that my new-to-me MF 471 has about 200 more RPM after full throttle if I press on the foot accelerator.  Max on the hand throttle is about 2100, it's about 2300 using the foot.  I think the foot is right, there is a small diamond on the tach at that point that looks like it might mark high idle RPM.  I'm guessing it's an adjustment somewhere, the tractor has about 375 hours, it wasn't used much by the first owner over it's first 13 years.  
Not that I plan on running at max RPM much, most of the time, I run at the speed for 540 PTO even when not using the PTO, it seems to save a little fuel.  I was chistel plowing today, it was pulling hard, so I was running higher RPM and trying to beat rain tonight.  It pulls a 7 shank 3pt. better than my old MF255.
Thanks
