rmaynard 15,308 #1 Posted April 9 What is the normal amount that the throttle cable should come out from idle to full throttle on a typical tractor such as an 857, or 875? My 875 that I just replaced the cable on only moves about 1/2" from idle to full throttle. Seems to me that the old cable (when working) moved quite a bit more.

I had one small block that the cable hooked into the wheel, it had a real short movement on the cable. I actually welded an arm on to the wheel to get more throttle cable movement.

rmaynard 15,308 #3 Posted April 10 It's just a wheel, no arm. I'm thinking most of my others have the arm. I don't weld. Guess I'll have to find one with an arm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know Bob, I have one. I'll just trade you for yours and weld one on it later to put back on the engine. I can mail it or bring it to the show 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,067 #6 Posted April 10 The ones with the arm seem to operate smoother given a good cable. Also there is more throttle range than just idle or WFO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Racinbob 10,869 #7 Posted April 10 I modified mine like this. No welding needed. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
