Hello! I'm new to the site, I've been browsing here for years but never posted. I can't thank you guys enough for all of the information you've helped me with in the past just from the posts I've read.
I've bought several things from GL in the past, a few trailers, and other odds and ends but never a vehicle.
I'm the new proud owner of a M929A2 dump truck, bought from the Fort Polk location. The listing states the throttle cable doesn't work. I was wondering if anybody who might have one of these trucks could tell me anything about the throttle cable system on the truck... I'm a very mechanically inclined person, I've worked on everything under the sun from ATVs to Dozers to Trucks so I'm sure I can make something work... but I would bet you guys could give me some priceless advice!
I plan on driving this truck off the location, but I will probably have to make more than one trip to get it going unless one of ya'll might can pull off a miracle by saying something like "oh yea just reinsert the wobbling bracket into the widget holder and it'll work fine, it happens all the time on those models".
What I'm looking for is....
1. What type of system is it? simple old school throttle cable with a return spring?
2. Has anyone ever replaced one of these cables and might have a suggestion as to what I can buy to replace it with?
3. Any other advice at all!!
Thanks to everyone again for the information!!
