Replacement that works as advertised, but is a bit stiff and hard to trim, so be careful
4/5

My lawn tractor has a throttle control on the dashboard that seems to have stopped working. It's probably 25 years old and made of White brand plastic. As a result of the plastic housing getting so brittle, it could hold back against the cable when you pressed it, so the throttle on the motor wouldn't move. As I knew that finding an exact replacement would be either impossible or too expensive, I looked around for a universal that looked like it would work, and this one looked like a good fit. Among the pros are 'This product is cheap, it does what you need, the build quality is great, and it mounts securely. ' There are a few cons as well In the long run, I had to use a hacksaw to cut the cable because the lever is stiff and the cable is hard to trim. A side cutter didn't work for me, so I had to use a side cutter. The last thing I want to mention is that I think the travel on this (distance between low and high) is quite large, so you may want to verify During installation, the engine did not run correctly, even at full throttle, and so it was difficult to use the engine (which worked fine with the old one). It took me some tinkering to realize the full throttle of this was probably flooding the engine with too much gas. My old lever was full throttle on this product whereas half throttle on this one was half throttle. Now that I know how to use it, I find it to be an excellent, cheap substitute.

I bought the wrong hand
5/5

This is an excellent product. The fit and finish are excellent. But this is Stens' version of the left hand. The right handed version of the cable is 290--you can order it if you are replacing an existing cable, as I was. You will need cable 155. The hand refers to the side of the mounting holes, so the new one should match the old with the mounting holes facing the opposite direction. The following one is for you.

The cable control is of high quality
5/5

Despite the fact that I bought an excellent broadcast spreader, its control was mounted on a short handle. To be able to do this, we had to dismount from the tractor and start and stop the flow of material. The spreader control could not be turned off before the tractor was in motion, causing material to flow while the tractor was in motion and continuing until the tractor was disconnected. Both of these instances would result in fertilizer piling up in one spot and causing the lawn to burn. Using this cable control as a replacement for the original spreader control means you can control the spreader flow gate (start and stop) If you move, you should stop the flow. There will be no more burnt spots on your lawn from fertilizer. A flexible, quality cable control system that can be used for a variety of custom applications.

Those who are looking for a replacement for their throttle should definitely consider this product
5/5

In the first place, I want to let you know I was so impressed with the quality of the product that I purchased another to replace the choke on a 1976 Chevy This tractor has 120 horsepower. Stens is well known for its products, and this is no exception The company is known for offering quality parts to lawn care equipment, and i think it stands to reason this product would qualify. Because I didn't ask before I purchased, I didn't realize that the "T" handle was not removable. However, that is my fault for not prioritizing asking. Although the pressed-in portion of the thing was not easy to remove, I was able to drill it out The control handle should be installed via the dash panel via the pivot bolt. Using a 1/4-inch bolt as a replacement for the pivot bolt A 20-mm nut is required to secure the lock. After that, tighten the control handle so that it gives you just the right amount of resistance when you move it up and During installation, I had the cable shortened as well. It is highly recommended that everyone looking to replace their throttle cable considers this product.

I expected this to work
5/5

Using this cable fits nicely with my Ferris IS2000z with a Kohler CV740s engine. To fit in the throttle linkage, I had to trim some of it off and bend it a bit. Located on the right side of the mower can be seen a photo of how it is mounted. It works in the same way as the OEM, and the only difference is that it has a metal sheath rather than a plastic one.

These would have been great if I had found them I've tried using them on numerous tractors and riding mowers with insufficient results
5/5

They are complete garbage and have never adequately repaired any tractor or riding mower I've tried When I found these, I was on the verge of giving up and spending over $60 for over from Toro. I found it to be the perfect fit for my tractor's dash. Featuring cables and levers that are much heavier than previous versions. By using a little heat and wiggling, the original handle can be removed, then the new handle slides right in. A true difference between the quality of cable you find in stores and that of the ones you find in the store is night and day. Despite a couple of pretty tight turns, I was able to route the cable exactly where I needed it. Cheap cables would not have worked. If you need a dash mount throttle or choke, put an end to your search and get one of You will avoid frustration and disappointment in the long run by using them.

The throttle on the log splitter has been fixed
5/5

A faulty log splitter throttle caused my log splitter to tear apart. I replaced it with this new throttle and the problem was solved. My expectations are that it will last for a while, because it is well-made and fairly heavy duty.

A quality product
5/5

We flushed the cable out well and installed it on a Little Wonder Leaf Blower driven by a Honda 9hp engine. We installed it so that negative action would be like the original (moving the lever forward will pull the throttle forward). Very good build quality, happy with it.
