The Tuul Crib 7,336 #1 Posted October 25, 2020 I found some bushings in my collection I've got this off of one of the old deck so I no longer have to make a rocker shaft. My question is of the location to put the vertical bar. how far away from the left side should it be ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc724 925 #2 Posted October 25, 2020 Wow, what a clever idea. How far to the left? The bar should line up with the tube that runs on top of the transaxle and guides the cable. I would graciously give you a dimension except I sold all my fleet 2 years ago before moving to FL. Darn, I miss my C141, but there is nothing for it to do here.

It just makes sense to use extra parts for something!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks right but there isn't a lot of space between the two sides of the tank. You don't want the 3/4 shaft rubbing the plastic tank. I built one, worked on my 312-8 tried it on my 520-H and it didn't fit right. Edited October 26, 2020 by Lee1977 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,336 #7 Posted November 1, 2020 Finally got it mounted where it is supposed to be and swings freely. Anyone know off the top of the head what size cable or length of cable I will need? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaysHorse 287 #10 Posted November 15, 2020 I did the same exact thing. Worked out perfect. The bushings I used were from a spare brake pedal. They are an exact fit. Nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,336 #11 Posted November 15, 2020 Yes I did check the clearance on the gas tank. That was my main concern! Dont need to go searching for a new another gas tank at this point! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
