Jessro81 6 #1 Posted July 18, 2022 I have a 1977 c120 automatic that I’m looking for a new throttle cable. I was wondering if anyone had a part number for a new one or if I should just maybe clean the old one out. It feel like it is getting stuck inside in line somewhere.

ri702bill 8,614 #2 Posted July 18, 2022 I like to remove the cable when it gets sticky, and hang it vertically. Dribble in some Marvel Mystery Oil down the wire into the sheath - let it migrate thru - takes several hours - and it smells like NECCO Wafers!!

peter lena 8,933 #5 Posted July 18, 2022 @Jessro81 when you lay out that new cable , make sure you secure it where IT WANT,S TO BE , never hard twist or jam a cable in place . even lubricate a new one , hang it vertically drip in penetrating oil or super lube oil , till it comes out the end. also lubricate every piece of linkage or levers , to insure the entire set up works smoothly . if you put the wrong twist on a cable it gets , hard to use quickly , move it around till its totally smooth. this is all basic stuff , , have any issues , just ask , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessro81 6 #8 Posted July 19, 2022 @peter lena thanks so much for you help. This is my first wheel horse I’ve ever missed with it’s actually my 13 year old son who loves tractors of all kinds.
