Needed: Diesel shut down push/pull cable for M-H 55 Diesel

Hey folks,

I have been soaking the original cable in PB Blaster for two weeks, and it is still froze up tight...  It is gonna have to be replaced.  I suspect these are harder to find than hen's teeth, but taking a stab at it here.

If anyone has a new old stock shut down cable, or a parts tractor with a workable shut down cable you would be willing to sell, please let me know!

Thanks!!

JB

John,

Sounds like this stuck cable would be a good test for an electrolysis experiment.. It is easy to do just need a tote with water and some soda wash and a couple pieces of old iron and a battery charger and about a days time. It would be interesting to see if it would free up your cable.

Hmmm....  Interesting.  Probably gonna need a plastic, or other non-conductive "tote" to hold the water.   Need something bigger than a 5 gallon bucket - this cable is pretty darn stiff...  

"Soda wash"??  Not a term I am familiar with down here.  Is that simply some baking soda in the water?? 

Cheers,

JB

Soda Wash is different than Baking Soda, It is pretty cheap I believe you can get it at Wall Mart but if not you can rely on old ebay... Here is a link to get some.

For those of you not familiar with electrolysis here is a link to see how it works. It is pretty simple to set up. Can't remember the reason but I remember them saying on one of the videos to "NOT" use Baking Soda but you are to use Washing Soda as it is different.

There are many different videos on there with many different ways of doing it but this is a pretty simple  example.

Here is the link.       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54ADeB6V1rQ

Ha Ha, Gary..

I actually do most of the grocery shopping these days.  Still had never heard of "soda wash" before.  We use liquid Cheer.  ;-)   (I also do most of the laundry...)  :-)
