1940 A Farmall pull cable for killing

agjim · Jun 11, 2020

I have a 1940 A with a device on the side of the magneto for a cable to connect to for
killing the engine. Where should the cable mount, on the steering support bracket?

gene bender · Jun 12, 2020

yes that's where it goes

agjim · Jun 12, 2020

Thanks Gene. It looks like the cable housing is smaller than most choke cables. Where might I find the correct cable?

doesn't that wire just make a handy way to ground the mag from the seat, vs actually push/pull anything? in that case, wouldn't any wire that fits thru the sheath work? Jim, you know me and electricity.... Quite unusual to have the original housing still there after all those years.

Not sure how well it will show up, but mine is mounted on the steering column opposite the throttle.

Wire feed welding wire is available in different sizes, and some of it is pretty good wire.

Just find a buddy with a wire feed and have him give you some.No need to buy a roll just for less than 10 feet. However,make sure it's not flux core. It should be solid core.

take your measurement for and go shopping probably will get better results using google you can spend lots of time running around when your fingers can do the shopping

Gene would yo have or know somebody who would have a corn cultivator and moldboard plow for a Farmall b?
Thanks

Hello Bill. I assumed it went thru a housing like choke cables do but the retainer on the mag looks smaller than what would let a regular choke housing fit in. After hearing the other comments just a bear wire without a shield would do the job till I find something better. I have plenty of welding wire which would make it functional.

Did you get my email about the changes with G-Roundup? If not I'll resend it.

Thanks to everyone for your help on my little project.

yes, I got that email. Maybe I can load up the Cub and head that way in October. (always good to have a goal). I also found a NH round baler at a dealer in Oxford, Al. guess its a little too far to go for a baler, though.

you need to keep checking the adds those are getting harder to find then when you do find one getting all the parts is the next issue

agjim · Jun 13, 2020

Do I need to bring it here for you to pick up? Just had my heart worked on a few weeks ago so that would be a reminder of when we met.
