 Topic: WTB: Choke lever and cable for B1
Posted: 21 Aug 2022 at 8:01pm |
My B1 is missing the choke lever and cable. Was at a show and finally remembered to snap a picture. Anyone have one and willing to ship to 54449? I'm assuming it could be coiled up and fit into a small box or padded envelope? Thanks

Don’t have a B1 but for some reason that doesn’t look factory? Ive seen them coming through the dash. Would be easy to fabricate one though if you have a machine shop close by to bend the piece of metal. Choke cable can be modified to fit easily with a pair of side cutters and needle nose pliers.

I'm wit' Rob. That looks like it's a fabricated one. Nice job whoever did it, but if I remember correctly I thought the "B" series GT's had the cable mounted in the dash. (?) Steve@B&B

Thank you I do believe that set up is original. I think you might be remembering the B10 where choke and throttle in dash together. We have a few old B1 in barn and could look

If that's a fabricated one, several people have fabricated them the exact same way. Seen several B1s like this.

My B-1 doesn't have choke on it and there isn't any hole where your picture show it pivoting.

Mike Z, Did you ever check those B1's you have? Curious if that's original for the B1. I didn't notice the first time, but looks like there's a narrow decal right behind that lever.... Steve@B&B

I’ll have my nephews look next week. I can’t get near them. But I looked at simplicity 725 parts book and it’s in there. I’ll have them look at our 725 also

If that picture was take at Baraboo GOTO, I believe it is my B1. When I purchased the tractor years ago it was nearly complete (and ran). I did fabricate the choke lever when I restored it. The original lever is bent the same, but has crescent shaped cutouts on the vertical edge. The top part of the lever also was rubber coated, I dipped mine in liquid electrical tape.
