Default 122 choke cable routing question.
Hello there everyone, I'm new to the forum. I am having some issues installing the choke cable on my 122, not sure if it is the original cable or right length, it seems a little short or maybe I'm not routing it right. It was laying in a box with misc. parts when I got the tractor. I will post a better close up picture when I get home.
Thanks, TigerCub

Ok, made it home and took some close up pictures, is this being routed the right way? Or is it the completely wrong size cable?

From what I see I'm going to assume that I have the wrong cable. I'll have to look up the part# and order the right one. Thanks for the help everyone and the great pictures.

You have the cable mounted incorrectly. The choke cable bracket bolts on the flywheel shroud,and the throttle goes where you have the choke cable bracket .

In Sawdustdads picture the choke cable goes down and under the coil and up to the bracket and then to the choke. Is that not right? That's what I was trying to do, but the cable seems to be a couple inches too short.

Go to an auto parts store. Buy a choke cable. Cut it to the right length. They cost less than $15, maybe even less than $10. It will look just like the original one.

Think this worked out pretty good, went to Northern Tool and picked up a universal choke cable for around $10 and cut to length, did same thing with the throttle cable, that was about $8.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
