yes bowden cables max,

so bike shops could amke up a workable cable for any machine so long
as they had bulk inner and outer cable.



Bike shops usually had a range of standard lengths that you put the ends
on your self. As you would imagine, the longest cable on a motor bike
is not all that long. With the advent of disk bakes front and rear, and
even sometimes hydraulic clutches, that really only leaves the
accelerator cable.


seen a few good flame wars here over the years, seems to be the
downside of the usenet(unmoderated), just let it run off like water
from a ducks back.


Yes, the old usenet saying: "Don't feed the trolls", is as valid as ever.



sounds like all those mechanics are supporting a good social um life
hey??? chuckle



Yes, it looks like a good way of making a few extra bucks. Easy to work
on, no registration/paperwork but worth as much as a used car. Lots of
room for profit there. A retired mechanic could do a lot worse.

Remain in light.

Remember though if they couldnt sell at that price, they wont ask that
price. Its still supply and demand.

just as an aside max,

our local mower shop (got no idea about ehre expertice?) has a
rancher2 painted green (never seen this colour before but it is all
over job, looks pretty solid it is the old box steel framed model i
think it should have the next gear box up from the old 3 forward speed
reliable unit, but just saw it outside his workshop doesn't appear he
is working on it, bound to be lots of mower shops around with second
ahnd units they may be the best outside of direct private sale for a
machine.

something like that even if you bought a new briggs or honda to drop
in it will give a you a very nice machine, and still have some resale
value in the end.

only 3 belts involved on them, the blade belt being the most highly
consumable
