Rustyred 58 #1 Posted January 15, 2018 TWO things. 1. Can anybody give me a picture from each side of C-81 1979 tractor that has the correct cable routing? I am realizing that the previous owner did not have it correct and I am not familiar with where those cables should run and where they should be attached. 2. The parts manual I have shows two belt guides which my tractor does not have. Do I need to have them put on? Again, a picture of them installed correctly would say a million words. It's hard to tell from the parts manual where exactly they should be.(they are circled in picture below.) Your support is very much appreciated!

pfrederi 17,125 #3 Posted January 16, 2018 I don't have a C-81 any longer ...She became a C-175 bit I have a few pics of her before the transformation. parts Manual for 79 c-81 doesn't show the guides. Don't think there were any on mine either. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustyred 58 #5 Posted January 17, 2018 thanks for the pictures! Already very helpful. Jakeshorsetuff: Thanks for your offer of more pictures. I am very interested in how to run both cables run under? or around? the engine... Or should there be brackets holding them somewhere? Then especially the throttle cable - does it have any clips or brackets hold it anywhere? Seriously - I can't really figure it out from the drawing. Any help is appreciated. Maybe a photo from each side including the whole length of the cable? The attached picture shows where we're at currently. Thanks!! Rustyred 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakeshorsetuff 36 #6 Posted January 17, 2018 The throttle cable leads under the engine into the retainer clamp on the throttle bracket.There are two clamps for the throttle cable one at the throttle bracket and the other on the starter. Adjust throttle by loosening cable retainer clamp then set throttle to full operate position. Tighten retainer clamp with the throttle in the operate position and make sure the stop pin is against the bracket. There are two clamps for the choke cable one on the blower housing,the other at the carburetor. To adjust loosen cable retainer clamp at carburetor set to full cold position and tighten retainer clamp to fully closed position. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustyred 58 #7 Posted January 18, 2018 Very, very helpful. Both the pictures and explanation are very clear. So thanks a lot. Is the upper belt guide supposed to hook underneath the belt? Rustyred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakeshorsetuff 36 #8 Posted January 18, 2018 The upper belt guide goes above the belt and what it does is prevent the belt from chafing on the belt guard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
