caseguy 2 #1 Posted March 8, 2012 I was just wondering, does anyone have a Commando 8 with the slot hitch that can take some pics and dimensions of the lift cable assembly? The part number is 3931. Thanks in advance -Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 14,916 #3 Posted March 9, 2012 Steve, Hope this is what you want. The overall length is 25-1/2" end to end. The cable itself is 9/64" diameter. The sheathing is 16-1/2" long, and has an outside diameter of 5/16" The attaching ends are 2-1/8" long x 5/8" wide The stops on the ends are 5/16" diameter x 1/2" long. If you have any other question, PM me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caseguy 2 #4 Posted March 9, 2012 Thank you Bob! That is awesome! It's exactly what I needed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caseguy 2 #5 Posted March 10, 2012 I just wanted to share what it was I did with your measurements Bob. It's not exactly the same because I couldn't find the steel stop buttons (I found them, but didn't need 500 of them and that's the only way they're sold because they're regulated by the Government for the aviation industry ), but I believe that it will function like the OEM design. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caseguy 2 #9 Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'm a bit of a purist, so I'm disappointed that I couldn't find the "right" hardware, but a hitch that works is a good start. So what little stops did you find??? Here's a link to the ones that I found: Single shank swage balls 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caseguy 2 #11 Posted March 12, 2012 Haven't actually tried them out yet, It's going on my "niece's" (Best friends Daughter's) tractor. It will probably be a while before she drops a plow in the dirt with it, but her birthday is next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouty56 565 #13 Posted March 12, 2012 just curious how the ends work,or fasten to the cable,is there a crimper tool or is it a wedge fit? This was my real question before...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caseguy 2 #14 Posted March 13, 2012 Sorry for not answering the actual question LOL. The fittings in the link are supposed to be swaged, but I have a crimper that I used...looks like a medium sized set of bolt cutters with 4 different sized notches in the blade.
