Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
I don't think I have heard this asked. Can the throttle assembly be replaced with a throttle link cable like on the Lo Boy 154?
Same engine ( more or less ) with a governor assembly. Lo Boy has the throttle cable set up.
Kind of sick of worn out teeth on the throttle shift plate.
The new ones wear out in a season. Any thoughts on this? I might be getting confused about the Lo Boys using that cable set up.
thank you...

Re: Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
Don’t know why you couldn’t. You would need one of these
and a cable that you can tighten the lever. So the governor won’t keep pulling it back to idle. Or one of the pull type that you pull then twist to lock it'49 Cub (Vince)

Re: Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
Time to weld up your saw teeth with some 4140 and reshape them!
Note......
When using a Cub throttle, try to get in the hang of pushing the throttle lever to the left before pushing it forward!
But, I think your idea of a numbered lowboy throttle would work too.

hmmmmm that makes sense. Probably why they are worn. Will try a few things...new teeth and the link cable.
Thank you Sam

Re: Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
I don't think there is any magic in the cable. The friction pad built into the control may be what provides the behavior you are looking for.

Re: Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
I want to change my 185 to the regular cub linkage to get rid of the problematic cable set-up on these!! The cable is a pita! ---never works right, cable gets tight in housing and you can operate it.
I could see using a truck pto cable being they are bigger, but still the problem with them sticking.
Fought them many years on lawn mowers and tillers!

I am just trying to figure out some way around having to hold my hand on the throttle when plowing and cultivating. The throttle lever wears down as well.
Maybe what Sam said add hardened steel.

Re: Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
The reproductions are probably not made out of the greatest material, and are likely not as thick as the originals, so they will wear faster.
But if you don't "rake" the throttle lever across the teeth, it can't wear. Maybe you need a father figure throwing rocks at your head each time you do it to break you of the habit? LOL

Re: Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
I hate the throttle bounding also but the cables are no picnic. I have purchase repop parts and repaired them.
The governor control sector is available http://www.tmtractor.com/new/gv/689fp.htm but expensive. The problem is getting a repop throttle lever. http://www.tmtractor.com/new/gv/415fp.htm
you have to get the worn area welded and grind/ file it into shape.
I have purchased the assembly from Steiner and have been happy https://www.steinertractor.com/IHS587

Re: Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
I've repaired several sectors and levers with a Mig welder. And I'm no welder. It's really quite easy, even the shaping part. And as stated, if you don't rake the lever across the teeth, they hold up for years.

Re: Throttle assembly vs. throttle cable
When I bought the property in my late 20's the house was a run down Victorian farmhouse with run down barns...easy fix but had a site report noting 2 feet of top soil. Before the closing people were stealing the soil I was told, there were holes in the fields. We do have big rocks up here, I build a lot of stone walls for fun projects and there are quarries all around here, we just have a good spot, where flooding once dumped a lot of river silt over a huge plain, plus years of Indians and later settlers growing here helped.Nelson 634 wrote:ya ya ya, I get it.

My neighbor is helping me tonight with some fixes to the throttles.
