hotajax 256 #1 Posted 5 hours ago May I pick your collective brains please? What is the latest version of the part number I need for a 1984 Wheel Horse 314-8 throttle cable? Maybe it's the same as the Toro, I don't know. Thanks in advance. I saw one reference at Jack's that said the cable is now obsolete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,129 #2 Posted 5 hours ago https://www.partstree.com/parts/toro-110714/ No reason you can't replace just the cable from bulk material. Possibly a local repair shop would have some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 31,510 #4 Posted 4 hours ago I keep bulk cable & sheathing in stock. It tends to get shared between @WHX??, my friend Joel & me. Think I've had the same 2 rolls for 4yrs now and there is still a few tractors worth left. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotajax 256 #5 Posted 4 hours ago Can you just bend that cable with a needle nose pliers after you fish it through the sheathing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are marketed for the radio controlled plane hobby but same difference. https://www.amazon.com/Z-Bend-Pliers-Useful-Airplane-Building/dp/B0D1R2VGVS/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FJK1P4WW8NN9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fRVcLT52hctO4LWC1h_beQjyfTo4QUFZBZHHVv5W9pOasAcjZpVW2t6x5DC6KAluaTkKmYv29KPPqH2I9OjHWPkNTitgAqk3aFzCBXRR-kfgliMzqT1gEgjXuEtmSuUc-CoSL6lzDiyZISm1pY4weCwvbaNmj_u-o3lyNMouuMFZtHTsQ_G9t3GI4RNL4IfEEWctFh2Dics9RZ5jdRT7A29IN3RBjo_ILGT3uL73K0YatjZI4ryHDUJN8cfUFAT9w-rxqwgDtGnJz-kSNm6ccE9I1shECWDw3AImtNPS5eM.RZz0dpHfCO49DVIQtGy2U1Bn6uj9iShz3oPVHmtQBYk&dib_tag=se&keywords=z+bend+pliers&qid=1776729896&sprefix=z+bend%2Caps%2C415&sr=8-1 They have gotten pretty pricey in the jungle but look around if you want one I think I only paid 15 for mine. The stuff that Dan has got has a nylon inner that is just as slick as cat crap on linoleum. Make it to any length you need. Problem is yes it comes in huge rolls but make some friends or list lengths in classifies. I have part numbers somewhere in here if your truly interested. Think it's a Stens offering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I heard this guy say he made the pliers himself. So all I need is a length of cable ( the "innards" that go inside the sheath? Thanks for this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
