Recommended Posts

What bolts are needed to be removed to wedge a lift cable and tube assembly on a  C120 with the flip down fenders?

I got the assembly from wheelhorsemans site.

@Goldnboy   like MACKS chain / cable spray  lube  on cabling , at local NAPA  STORE , would "  work ." move  it in  to entire cable  to prevent rust  and ensure  cable flexibility  , once imbedded into cable , stays flexible and rust free, pete

Start with the two bolts holding the whole seat/fender pan to the top of the transmission. 

CLEAN THEM BEFORE REMOVAL  so the dirt doesn't drop in the transmission.  

 

Possibly also the bolts holding the steering tower at the frame...?

Several lessons learned on this repair upgrade. 

 

1.  Lowel(wheelhorseman) parts may be expensive than alternative but in the long run better and save time and repair multiple times to get it right.

 

2  For those that install this cable assembly make sure you research how its getting installed.

 

I had made several attempts to repair this lift cable on my own but it was not able to lift my seat sleeve hitch tiller without pulling at the crimp. I had previously order two keyhole clevis ends and attached to cable with clamps and crimp.

 

When I ordered the pre-made  assembly I didn't realize one end needed the keyhole clevis in order to install the tube. So I had to cut the one clevis off to install and use my existing clevis from a prior failed install.
