Default 1912 Broken lift cam stop knob (torque knob)

Well, I went to adjust my lift stop cam and the knob broke into three pieces in my hand. I had a spare that I put on and it broke too after a few uses. Are there any good aftermarket replacements? Or is it "use a fine threaded bolt and washer" time?

I am guessing, that the Bakelite Knob is brittle from being 30+ yrs old. Maybe---- you can bevel the edges of the three broken parts, and JB Weld them back together. And you are right, you could always fabricate something.

I have repaired many Farmall steering wheels, using JB Weld to fill the cracks, but I don't have any experience with it as a "glue" to put to pieces together. It does stick well to Bakelite.

Give it a try and let us know...

I would be inclined to carve one out from steel or aluminum. Granted, I have a lathe and milling machine. You could also look at Mcmaster Carr. Heres a link

This the cheapest way to go, weld a piece of flat stock to assist in the lefty loosy, righty tighty.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
