Mike_W 51 #26 Posted April 4, 2016 dimensions would be great, I'm sure I can make one. I ordered a locking cable last night on ebay, if don't work out, I'll use your resource, thank you! I think you are right on the sheet footrest, I do like them, makes for easier entry and exit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wrightorchid 261 #27 Posted April 4, 2016 A great find, and with the hydro to boot. Fun to see the old brochures, and all of the various attachments, including the thermo sprayer and air compressor (items that are not seen very often). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,809 #29 Posted April 4, 2016 Really the brochures are cool, I would br tempted to frame them for the shop... nice find all the way around. How often do find a horse with the cigarette lighter there?!?!? Welcome to the throttle cable conundrum... I did the vice grip thing on my 401 and it ended up scratching paint! My OEM locking cables work great on my "67 maybe that was the year they started using them? Never knew that they were there for years as the arrow and lock word were wore off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhatch 405 #30 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Rather then mess around with cloths pins/vice grips (sorry guys) on my 867, I replaced my PITA push/pull throttle control with a lever style. Much better RPM control and it stays where I set it. A push/pull knob is fine for a choke, but not very good for a throttle.

stevasaurus 22,231 #32 Posted April 4, 2016 I was wondering what they did with your parking brake lever. Is it still there, under the fender/footrest?? Can you post a picture of it and how you get to it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you post a picture of it and how you get to it?? It's right in front of the right rear wheel, probably 2 inches away from the end of the hydro pump fan blades. Hence my quest to get a fan shroud there. Interesting, I don't know where the seat release lever went to, I'll need to remove the plate to see what's up. The seat seems to kind of snap in place and not loose, so not a pressing matter. I'll get a pic of the parking lever. Looking at your pics, it's in the same place as yours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #34 Posted April 4, 2016 Mine is hard enough to reach as it is, I doubt I could even reach yours while sitting on the horse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My 876 does not have the running boards and has a control by the left rear tire to engage the hydro. Yours seems to have some hydraulics mounted on the left side. Your throttle would have an arrow showing how to lock it if that is what you have. I happen to have a "T" throttle on mine...it is not supposed to be there to be correct. Steve what is up with the spring on the brake side? Home made idea? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,231 #38 Posted April 5, 2016 SmokinJoe put that spring there a a quick fix 2 winters ago. It is something on the bucket list to fix on this horse. The spring works great though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
