JD D-130 throttle lever replace - varkpilot - 04-13-2020 Has anyone replaced the throttle mechanism? The throttle lever [orange pc] broke at the bottom. My D-130 has just ONE lever. YOUTUBE videos imply that the task isn't that difficult. However, if one has basil joint arthritis, it might be difficult bending the tabs in order to remove the assembly. [I tried to attach a photo but it was waaaaaay too big despite efforts to downsize....never was very good at photography!!] RE: JD D-130 throttle lever replace - Splinter Puller - 04-15-2020 (04-13-2020, 02:33 PM)varkpilot Wrote: Has anyone replaced the throttle mechanism?

RE: JD D-130 throttle lever replace - Snipe Hunter - 04-15-2020 Where do you live? Maybe a W/Netter could swing by and help out. Looks pretty straight forward. Looks like they break a lot. You could make a new handle out of something sturdy like oak and epoxy it or screw it into the round cavity. Probably much stronger than the replacement piece. Is this it?

Not familiar with your tractor but looking at the video I think I have a solution. Can you drill and tap for 1/4-20 threaded bolt? You could drill a dowel or a piece of a broom stick for a handle. Install the bolt thru the dowel and into the threaded hole, blue Loctite will keep the bolt from loosening. mike |
