Ferguson carb replacement and unwelcome surprise.

I got the new carb for the Ferguson TO-35 yesterday.

I got it installed without too much headache.

Started the tractor and it ran great.


Today, I went out to start clearing the brush with the ferguson.

When I went to start it up,

The throttle linkage broke!



This is supposed to connect

This (where it broke)

To this (the round thing)

 Because this is a very hard to find part,
and I want to get the brush cleared,
I improvised (rednecked) a solution.

This old handle

Had the right threads and size to fit the connector end.

This lets me operate the throttle until I can figure out how to repair the throttle operating handle.

I will try to get video of the brush clearing and post it later.

Like Red Green says:

If they don't find you handsome, 
they should at least find you handy!
