Hello,

Looking for pictures of how to connect the linkage rod from the carburator to the torque converter switch. Any photos would be greatly appreciated.

In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words!


Thanks,

Tom

 

Chassis Service Manual?

 

I have the 1967 Chassis Service Manual and there is nothing there.

I think I need a 1967 Toro owner to pop the hood, take off the air cleaner, snap a few pics, and post or send them to me. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Tom

Tom, if someone else hasn't sent you pictures yet I can this weekend.

John,

That would be great!

Thank you,

Tom

 

Make sure you look in the right place. The CSM pic and adjustment is not in trans section- it's in Engine Tune-up section.

 

I think I'm looking in the right places but don't see what I am looking for. Let me try asking another way. On the carburetor linkage, I need to connect the throttle, the cruise control, and the kickdown switch rod. What holes/locations do I use for each connection? Again, a picture of a correct set-up would be worth 10,000 words to me.

Thanks,

Tom

 

Without seeing your set-up I'm going to take a wild guess and say you have the incorrect throttle lever on your carburetor. The Toro throttle lever is different than other Olds for that year.

I had a similar issue on my '66 Toro until I found out the carb was from another Olds product and the throttle lever didn't have the attachment points for the kick-down linkage. Luckily the fine folks on this forum provided me the correct lever which just bolted right in. As a reference, I attached a thread I started several months ago with a call-out for the correct lever. You'll find some decent pics showing the lever along with the linkage connections.
