Oregon 60-522 Throttle Control Cable for Murray Models, Black

This worked great for my tiller. The little knob at the top splits in half and allows you to bolt it right on to the tiller throttle slot. You may need to use a heat gun to soften the plastic to pull off the top half but it shouldn't break or give you too much trouble. Once then knob is off, it readily bolts using the same holes on the tiller and put the bottom half of the knob on then press the top half back on and then snap the bottom half to it. I didn't have any luck in pulling the throttle wire out so when shortening it, I used a pair of wire strippers to expose the spiral wrap of the cable housing where I wanted to trim the cable to. With the spiral metal exposed, I used a pair of flush cutters to snip the spiral without damaging the wire. I managed to break the tip of the flush cutters though so there's probably a better way to cut the steel spiral without much issue. Anyways with a small z bend tool, a new throttle control was functional and works well. Just remember to size everything with throttle on the engine at low and the throttle control at low.

The product appears to be a good product. I debated on less than 5 stars because I had to remove the knob to install the lever in a dash panel on a Bolens HT20 and the knob was very difficult to remove. I was able to remove it but it cracked a small portion which I hopefully fixed with JB-Weld. I don't think that should hinder them from receiving 5 stars but I wish the product arrived with the knob removed because I assume a lot of users place this in a panel.

So yea… the saga of the pull behind spreader was vastly helped by this control cable. I used it to allow me to turn the spreader on and off from my garden tractor, without being a contortionist or elastic man. Works great. A few mods to the spreader (nothing a little J.B. weld couldn’t fix) and I’m spreading fertilizer like a lunatic. The knob came apart on me. Just a little plastic press fit of 2 hemispheres… I really don’t care that much, but that’s why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. More j.b. Weld could fix it if I get annoyed enough with it. Overall… great fix to an age old problem. Oh yea… the spreader saga? Well… that’s a story for a different review. Happy fixing, building, tinkering.

very well made, worked well for me, replacment on my allis chambler zero turn mower

Works great

Exactly what ordered. Received in a timely manner.

Pretty much as described!

Bought one and it came damaged, within a day a new part came and no return request needed. Which helps save my own time. The part was used for a brush hog mk series zero turn mower, 60” was a bit too long but a little bit of rerouting the part works as intended. Good part, smooth lever, stiff cable all in all good value for the money.

Used this cable on my New Holland tractor for a delete. . Excellent quality

muy bien

I am building an engine run stand and this should be ideal for that. The cable seems to be long enough and there is enough friction to lock the throttle in one place but still easy to give it a rev or two.

ideal pour mon souffleur
