Wheeler 2,388 Posted December 31, 2022 Today I’m in the garage going over the ATV in anticipation for tomorrows ride. I just pulled my 424 knob apart to inspect & clean. Jez it was rusty, cable is frayed! Got it lubed & adjusted & thankful I have a spare ready to install when this cable gives up the ghost! I’ll prolly swap it out & rebuilt it later this winter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 5,984 Posted December 31, 2022 A backup 424 unit..... Ha! I like that.... If you ever get another and shelf it.... When it's starts gathering dust ..... Get a holt of me.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 6,826 Posted February 10 Someone on FB sent me this. Would likely require modification to fit a 300, but nothing a welder and a 300 driveshaft wouldn’t fix. Warn 424 for an old Yamaha https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5816265455148211/?paipv=0&eav=AfYyHaYaITeS4R4FQkr4wPiafsCv_OhDzCZP9yZxBMgq_l25iR5tt8HKHTNacTfXV_c&ref=messenger_share&_rdr 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 6,826 Posted March 9 Just now, Brayden clance said: Can I find this online? @Wheeler, I sent this young man your way. He bought a 424 with a trashed cable (not disclosed by seller) and then almost got taken by a scammer on FB who claimed to have a new cable. You still making them? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheeler 2,388 Posted April 10 (edited) @jeepwm69 no secret really, but I had to come up with a way to improve, as I had one guy say the lead popped off, & I had to show him via small video how to re do it. That is unacceptable as I’m charging for a service. So this new method is actually brazing rod. (This is how I made up Brayden’s cable) I made one up, put it in vise & yanked the tihs out of it!! Didn’t budge! Super strong, but more difficult to make tbh. Worth the effort though! I used this method to make my own cable as well. U can see in the picture it was fraying bad.
