7020 reverse cable help!

[86ontherez]

My 7020 is a power director director transmission. The cable from the T handle when you twist it to get
it in to reverse broke and I am trying to install new one. It is proving to be quite a job. Any advice would
help. Thanks!

I don't remember any thing out of the ordinary replacing that cable. Seat slid clear back out of the way. Cab floor mat has to come out and the center floor plate. Then, remove the inner side cover to the console and get after it, working from inside the cab to swinging out the batteries and working behind them. If you're 5 ft 5 inches and 150 lbs it works better. Don't get rough with any cable and put a kink in it or you'll be sorry. Oil up the shift lever so it twists easier and oil anything that moves.

Thanks for your reply! The problem I am having is where it goes through the floor there is not enough
room for it to turn and go forward.I am afraid of kinking it also.I thought of taking a grinder and making
that hole a little bigger for it to fit through. I am really stumped.

If you make the hole a little bigger, the floor mat will cover it and only you (and I ) will know about it.

I don't know how thick the floor plate is, but a die grinder might give you more control than a grinder, on a small hole size. Even a dremel, with a hand full of bits.

Finally resorted to the blue wrench and made the hole bigger.Everything is in place and no kinked cable.Thanks for everybodys help!

The cab was built in LaPorte, Indiana. Either there, or in Milwaukee, the control console with all the levers in it were assembled. All the control cables would have been in the cab before it was set down on the chassis. All control cable ends were then connected to where ever they needed to be at that point.
