mark64 0 Posted May 26, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goatfarmer 817 Posted May 26, 2007 Make sure the knob isn't turning on the shaft. My 2110 does that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2burning 1 Posted May 26, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DMedal 1 Posted May 27, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark64 0 Posted May 27, 2007 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
