[AT] Case VAC throttle spring thingy...

[Jim Becker]

Messick’s, a CaseIH dealer, shows the part superceded by A30339 and it lists for $46.58.  Their description just says “spring”.

If you read closely, the picture is of a used spring, but you are purchasing a new spring. $55 is still awful steep though. I mainly included the link so that you would know the name is apparently simply “foot spring”. Not very creative if you ask me :-)

  It's even worse than that... I looked at it very closely and I am sure it is already broken and is being held in place with a piece of twisted baling wire...
  We have bought a handful of things from them over the years and while they were high we never had any problems with anything. I have to wonder if this is a glitch and maybe the $55 is for the lever assembly, not just the spring?

  Well, I did have one problem... We bought a set of nice rims off of a Ford 8000 but ended up not using them. The problem was local... I put them out for sale and someone (I assume a scrapper) just loaded them up one day. Hardly Robert's fault.  :-)

    Holy smokes. At $55 a pop for a pre-rusted out spring no wonder they are all broken at shows.

    It is because the search engines are not too adaptive. You have to search for “thingy, spring”. :-)

    Could this be it,

      You will notice that I didn't use the correct name for the throttle thingy, that is because I don't remember it and what it is called is my question.  :-)

      It is an odd spring that goes at the intersection of the hand throttle and the foot accelerator linkages. It has hooks that hook over the levers and it makes a circle or two around the stud that the levers mount to. That convergence of linkages is what allows the two feeds to operate separately.

      The one on my non-running VAC is also broken and I once did some looking at a tractor show and it was broken on several VAC's at the show. Must have been a weak point, huh?  :-)

      Anywho, I can't search for it unless I have a better name than "spring thingy"...
