Bought this item to replace failed one. Learned there is a left and right lay to the cables twist. Old cable had wrong direction twist to it. Sales person at Spruce was a big help to me in selecting correct cable for my engine set up. Construction of cable is very high grade.
Cable fit my 1964 Clark end loader/backhoe perfectly. Due to the thoroughness of your website, I was able to pick out proper ends and lay for this cable with relative ease. OEM cable hasn’t been available for 50 plus years.
This cable is captive on the engine side such that it will not put pressure on the tach input. Some tachs like the Mitchell, require a captive cable to keep pressure off the tach, this cable will satisfy that requirement.
Havent installed it yet but looks good.
No problem
Great, not one thing to complain about, everything just went perfect, and fit too.
looks good fit and works
right part & price
Precisely as ordered.
Prompt delivery, couldnt ask for better service. Unfortunately I ordered it in error and must return it.
