Throttle Lever
My throttle lever wont stay in the notches when in the fast position. Is there a common fix for this without buying new parts? thanks

Take a three cornered file and rework the notches in the detent. Then check the lever to see if there is a grove worn in it. This can sometimes be cured with a straight file. If it is to bad another one can be purchased from TM Tractor Parts or a new one is still available at Case I/H. Watch your wallet they can be expensive.

George Willer has previously posted his technique of gas welding the worn places and filing to shape- that would make it as new. My gas welding is not so good, so I weld mine with the MIG. I fudge the thickness up to about 1/8" in the area of the notches. That gives twice the wearing area. The lever also wears less with the thicker surface. The notches are spaced 1/4" on center when recutting. I also weld up the lever if it is worn and grind it to shape. Cutting the notches in the thicker section is much slower.
Luck favors those who are prepared

I bought one from JP Salvage, only $25 with the lever; but the welding idea is a great one! 
I wished I'da thunk of that back when I needed it!

That is what I did and I can tell you.. just about anybody can weld better than I can. But with a little judicious use of the grinding wheel and a good file, the lever came out good as new and I am still using it. I redid 3 at the same time, so I have a few spares.
As for the quadrant.. a triangular fine file (similar to a file used to sharpend plywood blades for a circular or table saw) will work wonders.. but it the quadrant is badly worn, the best and most reliable fix is a new quadrant. They are still available from CaseIH.. but the price is a bit much.. I think I paid $20.00 for a replacement.
