Default 100 Throttle Cable seized again - options?

Ok I have about had it with this one. My cub sits outside and the choke and throttle cables are again stuck. Throttle cable broke off up at the lever.

Are there stainless cables I can attach to the CC throttle lever, or can these be covered in heat shrink or other tubing to keep the lube inside and the water outside?

Ideas welcome!

Try searching push and pull cables in the marine industry....for boats. They do make stainless.

This is an example but I don't know if this fits:

Otherwise I would think about a storage shed or garage for the whole tractor, not just the cables.

K thanks, I will look at marine products. be nice if I could marry a marine cable to the OEM throttle lever and that should be doable.

Have you ever tried using "chain and cable spray" ? I believe it's made by " Lubriplate". It works great on motorcycle cables and chains. I also used it for my hood release cable for the car. Speedometer cable .

When they get tight I just soak them with a similar product, and they always release.

yeah I hit it with PB Blaster but didnt wait long enough and snapped the throttle cable end at the throttle itself.

I figured there might be generic stainless cable since I will have to try to reattach something anyway. I want to save the throttle control.

I have the same frozen/seized cable issue on a 100 myself. I am planning on using an ultrasonic cleaner and then high pressure air. Lastly I’ll soak it down internally with motorcycle chain lube

all that will work, as I have done that several times. but, it will stick again.

If I had covered the tractor with a tarp (loosely to keep the moisture from accumulating) it wouldnt have stuck at all.

Im still for getting a marine or stainless cable and never have the issue no matter what

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.
