| 1959 D 17 I am not sure how the original way of operating the choke, when I got it the cable or rod was gone. I have a cable but not sure how it is originally set up. I can make a bracket to make it work but would like to do it original , carb is original. thanks |

| 1959 would use a rod to activate the choke. Runs from the carb and comes out the shield under the gas tank. |

| I have a 59 D17, it is a rod it attaches to the engine side of the carb, and extends to the left side panel below the gas tank. There should be a slit about 3-8in wide and about 2in long that the rod will stick through with a screw on ball. I do not have any way of taking or posting pics so im no help there. |

My 1958 D14 is the same set up - the knob to the right of the decal.  |

Is that rod 2 pieces? That looks just like the shut off on a D17D. The diesel shut off is 2 pieces anyway.

| You can obtain aftermarket side panels from Norm or Doc's Equipment. There may be other suppliers who advertise on this site who can also provide them. |

| I made a bracket and hitched a choke cable that I already had up to choke on carb and it works really good I put the choke control in the light switch hole(clutch side) and moved the light switch to the brakes side. I have a bad habit of revising and retooling different parts on equipment, sometimes it works and sometimes not. Thanks anyway. |
