Hydroback Cable

David,

Do you know the manufacturer of that pump? I see what looks like the letter P, and I can't see the letter beside the P?

It looks so clean because it probably was pressure washed.

No I do not know the manufacturer of that pump.

I grease the grease fittings every 10 hours, but have not been lubing the heim joints. I guess I should start. I leave the covers off. I don't see that they are needed except for appearance. Is that right.

I believe the pump is made by Bondioli & Pavesi.

I removed those covers about five years ago with no problems because of it. I lube the linkage more often because their out in the open. I would also like to come up with a quicker system for removing the floor plates.

I lubed the cable by sliding back the small black cover on the end near the petal. I then worked the cable in and out and kept spraying. I wiped off black gunk occasionally. On the other end I just sprayed into the hydroback cover. I used a Dupont teflon dry multilube. Does anyone put lube in differently? I probably should have taken the cover off the spring, but did not immediately see a way.

We had this special clamp for motorcycle cables, Rubbery thingy clamp that compresses around the opening of the cable. There was a small hole for the spray nozzle to fit in and it pushed the graphite right on down. Used it on motorcross bikes.

Doubt I still have it, not sure if it is still made....


AHHHH Here we go

Would that fit on the Hydroback cable. Seems a little small. A good idea though. I will order one if you think it will work. Probably work on the throttle and choke cable.

Edit: I ordered one.

If I leave the covers off all the grass that blows down the tunnel seems to go up my nose!

Moss, if I could put your nose on my tractor then I would not have to wear a dust mask. Clone it.

I found a company that sells the Hydroback cables locally, and the cost to replace my cable which is 84 in, is about $111.00, and the Hydroback unit is about $65. This was for a Medium Duty, 3 in travel, and 20 lbs. If the cable could be hooked up directly, it would work better. Right now, my foot pedals pull a bracket that pulls or pushes the cable, and the other end also pushes or pulls a bracket that moves the lever on the transmission. Do no not tighten the floating brackets to much, it will add extra lbs to the cable. Just tighten up the bracket and back off about one turn. Those of you that use a pressure washer on the PT, try not to squirt water/soap into the cable assembly.
