Need to find a PART!!
 

While removing the carburetor from the governor/throttle linkage I lost a little plastic thing that holds the throttle linkage into the governor arm...Its part # is ME-152-0343. They are discontinued but i found some vendors selling them for 30 or more dollars.....Anyone know of a way i can fix this without having to bend over for a little plastic piece for 30 bucks or more? Or shall I begin bending over? Tractor is an AGS 2140http://imgur.com/jG2U67x

I'd take the linkage to your local parts store and see if you can find something that will work.

Head over to the scrap yard.

My local junk yard is a gold mine.

They use those little plastic keepers or something similar on lots of stuff. You can probably find one that will work at your local parts store...

These are somewhat universal so look at the scrap yard and/or parts store. I believe I would bend one up from sheet metal before paying $30...

Check item # 13, it may work for you.

Good luck, Ike

guys this is what he is looking for.# 8

Same kind of part used on lock rods for the inside of car doors.... but may be a smaller diameter. Go look through the "HELP!" line at an auto parts store. Or, make a new rod that has a different end. Ways around everything.
