VAC Project: Need a part number for a carb part

I think I discovered that at one time the carburetor on this tractor has been replaced with a M/S TSX 112. I don't THINK this will cause much problem, because everything I can find says the jetting is nearly the same. The problem was that the choke control lever is on the opposite side (away from the engine) of the carb. Well, today, I was able to fix that by removing the "TSX 112" brass plate, drilling a new dowel pin hole for the choke return spring pin on the inboard side, flopped the choke butterfly rod to the other side, and reinstalled everything. Looks like it will work.

HOWEVER, I'm missing the bracket that the choke cable clamps to ( I think I could get along without it for now...), and the little gadget that fits on the choke arm large hole, then receives the choke sliding wire. Any suggestions for these small parts short of buying a new carburetor?

BTW, the pictures are "before" I swapped the choke shaft.

Thanks as always. I'm hoping I might just get to try it this weekend.....

I hunted for the cable clamp & wire swivel clamp for my 114 for a long time. Finally gave that up and bought a junk carb on ebay with the right parts on it for $13 + 5 shipping. Be patient, lot of these junk carbs go for minimum bid.

Check the link. Looks like the parts you need for your 112.

Is there enough meat to drill & tap for the choke bracket screws on the inboard side?

I will be able to configure it to operate with a loop of wire until I find the correct parts, and I agree, I need to make sure it works correctly before I get too worried about correct.

Thanks for the lead on eBay. I buy lots of stuff there, but never thought about "junk" carbs. Yes, the one you referenced would indeed have the parts I require. And yes, the same metal boss is on the inboard side under the brass tag as is on the outboard side. Plenty of meat to secure a choke wire clamp.

I wonder if anyone out therehere knows the exact differences between a TSX114 and my TSX112. I asked my wife and she said "Two." Thirty years of marriage.....
