Throttle cable question

[mark64 0]

I just got a great deal on a B212 this week. Only problem I have with the tractor is the throttle cable won't hold open with the tractor at full throttle. The lock seems to work fine at slower speeds. Is there a fix for this or do I have to look for a new cable? Thanks Mark

Make sure the knob isn't turning on the shaft. My 2110 does that.

On my 700 series Allis I had to use vice grips to carefully crimp down the cable casing to get more friction so the choke cable would stay open.

This is what I did yo my Tractors. Works a lot better.

Yes Kent, They earn their keep around here. Also have couple of 3112,s. One is due for another dissembly, sand blast and then paint. The picture attached shows my brother helping with one of the 3112's

Mark- I've got one with a too-slick plastic guide on the replacement cable, it does as you describe. I started with vice grips but it doesn't last long without leaving the vice grips on. Now I have what electricians call a split nut on the cable which is a better looking fix. It is really for splicing heavy wires, and pinches the cable real nice. If you want to go that route, check the electrical section of a bigger hardware store or big box. -Don

Don Thats a good idea, us lineman call that a split bolt connector. I will give that a try. The previous owner used a vice grip on the cable and I was looking for something better. Thanks for all of the info! Mark
