The throttle Lever started slipping on the 3012. Having done this repair on a 224 years ago, I was not looking forward to this one. I GOT really lucky in that a PO had done this repair already with a 1/4" bolt and lock nut
It was a tight working space, but with 2 box end wrenches I was able to get 1 tooth advance turning both wenches at the same time. A little flex in the plastic dash helped as did clamping a needle nose vise grip to the sides of one of the wrenches open end, tight enough to hold but loose enough to provide a little pivot action and more movement of the wrench.

Oh yeah, nasty one Gordy! I have been procrastinating doing it on one of my tractors

Re: Slipping throttle lever
Actually it was about 10 minutes chasing wrenches and all. The picture is from the top/back of the oil tank looking down, and is where the work was done, nothing to disassemble . I will have to look at the 224, I don't recall there being that much if any room to view let alone work.I was definitely happy when I saw this.

Re: Slipping throttle lever
Yeah @Gordy but I don't have the bolt and nut there. I'm thinking the whole lever must come out to replace the rivet with nut and bolt.

Your 3012 is new enough that Ingersoll had already started providing the bolt and self locking nut as a production part. Sure is nice to have the lever stay where you set it, right?

Re: Slipping throttle lever
some times you can get a set of vise grip in there and give a little squeese on that rivet enough to get it to hold a while longer . At least until you have to do something else that involve take the battery and tank out .

Re: Slipping throttle lever
Thanks Bob, been into CCI for a long time and had never heard this before. I believe the 3012 is a 1992 model.myerslawnandgarden wrote: ↑Fri Sep 02, 2022 6:38 pmGordy,Gordy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 01, 2022 10:56 pm The throttle Lever started slipping on the 3012.
