cafoose 3,170 #1 Posted September 4, 2015 I have a new Wheel Horse choke cable that measures 22.5" long from the end of the black knob to the end of the wire. I have no part number for it or anything like that. I was wondering if anyone knows what it may fit. It has a black knob on it that pulls out and pushes in.

cdsl810 181 #2 Posted September 4, 2015 Can you post a picture of the black knob? That would be helpful for zoning in on the vintage. Also, is the cable plastic coated or metal sheathed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cafoose 3,170 #3 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Here are some pics of the choke cable. It is metal sheathed not plastic coated. Edited September 5, 2015 by cafoose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdsl810 181 #4 Posted September 5, 2015 My guess is an older vertical shaft model, or a mid engine model. I'm still trying to find the *exact* fit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cafoose 3,170 #5 Posted September 5, 2015 I was thinking an older one also because of the style of knob and one with the engine closer to the firewall because of the length. Maybe a round hood? Thanks for all your effort I really appreciate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdsl810 181 #6 Posted September 5, 2015 My roundhood, a Suburban 400 (1960) has the paddle style knobs. The one you have looks more like a late 60s early 70s design. I just can't place it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cafoose 3,170 #7 Posted September 5, 2015 I was just looking in the picture gallery and some round hoods from 1961 on have choke knobs like the one I have but like you said most 1960 back have paddle style knobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdsl810 181 #8 Posted September 5, 2015 The key to the identity is the "C" on the knob. That would lead me to assume that it belongs to a tractor that does not have "CHOKE" on the dash anywhere. But I have been wrong before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #9 Posted September 5, 2015 Looks just like the one that was on my '68 electro 12 Seen them like that on Raiders as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdsl810 181 #10 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) The 857 has the exact same knob also. So, if we have it zoned in on the late 60s--the answer should come from the short length. I don't think it belongs to a Kohler K-series because the carb is way out on the front. The choke cable on those is 36" or longer. So either the tractor is small, or the engine (carburetor) is much closer to the operator--or both. Edited September 5, 2015 by cdsl810 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cafoose 3,170 #11 Posted September 5, 2015 I have an 876 Kohler k181 8hp and it definitely has the longer cable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
