Kioti EX50 parts needed

[marcusthehat]

Being the pot-metal "gubbings"(is it a clevis?) that connects the bowden cable to the valve block(i.e. down at the valve block) for the loader.
Cyril Johnstons are telling me I will need to order the entire cable assembly.
But the failed component is a screw on easily replaceable part so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Especially if someone knows some other brand that uses these same cable assemblies?
Regards,
Marcus

Post a photo with few measurements like the thread size, guaranteed someone on here will recognise the bits or may even have dome old snapped cables with similar ends

Thank you for such a rapid response Mur.
So.
The threaded rod is 5mm dia and standard metric tread(because I tried the clevis with a cutting of threaded rod)
the stubby cross pin is 8 to 8.5mm in dia.
see images.
2nd image not the best, I might get better after dark when the flash will work.

Looks fairly standard cable ends, personally I never tried obtaining just the ends separately therefore don’t know if they’re available. Right or wrongly I always keep ends etc off broken cables like that in the lucky dip boxes!

Mur,
Having spent the last 3 solid days tidying my shed(by pure overdue, like about 10 years overdue, happenstance),
I have been through my "lucky dip" boxes, but since this is my first ever loader, it would be unlikely that I had such bits squirreled away.
thanks again,
marcus
Looking on the Vapormatic site, they do "do" similar bits, https://www.vapormatic.co.uk/hydraulics/hydraulic-component/controls/vfh1427/gf5bgl63jeg , so I shall try a local guy tomorrow

Search the web for bowden cable ends just in case, even ebay

Wouldn't be impressed if that was my dealer, surely they have the savvy to source ends. But they'll make more out of selling a complete cable, typical stealers!

If you find a nut in the newly cleaned shed (with the same internal diameter as the broken end) drill and tap one face to take the cable. If you feel the need, tack a smaller nut on the newly drilled face to increase thread area fro the cable.

Failing that, as you probably know Paddy Callan Ardee mess about with Kioti, but I'm not sure what the waiting time is for parts ......

Barleycorn,
I was NOT impressed, especially after first getting a halfwit called Jenny, who kept asking "did it control the brakes" and other such quite unrelated nonsense, after I had used key words like "loader" hydraulics" "valve block" "cable assembly".
She must have been on a Friday afternoon promise or sommat.

I then hung up and re-dialled to get someone who was just as uninterested but perhaps knew a little more, but surprise!, they have still not phoned back, as they had undertaken to do yesterday afternoon.
The last time I had to call in at the counter, but they are 60 miles away the other side of Belfast.

Mursal,
I am considering that option, but a fair bit of precise engineering(i.e. beyond welding drilling and angle grinding) involved for it to fit inside the sleeve.

BUT! Ah Ha! This would give me a very good reason to buy a Dremel type tool, an I been needing just such an excuse!

I will also be chasing up the ROI contacts, before Brexit seals the Border!
Thanks all,
Marcus

EDIT
If I cannot source (at sensible money) I have now figured how to fabricate the bit myself, or so I reckon, fingers crossed.

Happy days,
Barry at CJ's tracked it down (a "joint", per Kioti) courtesy of my emailed image, and voila, yours today Sir, for the princely sum of £7.13 +VAT,
so I ordered an heir an a spare!
He also "pinged" me the part number for future reference.
marcus, the happy hat
