choke knob thread?

[gears]

Anyone know what the thread size/pitch is for an N choke knob? I've been gripping the knurled remains of the knob for 3 yrs and it's a right bear to do with gloves on. Figured I'd turn something, drill and thread it.

Yeah, I could go measure it but it's dark and cold outside.....

I don't know off the top of my head gears and it's cold here too!
I'll go out and check tomorrow if you don't get an answer.
I have a new one hanging on the pegboard.

Unless ya WANT to go OEM....here is what I did, and it works well with winter gloves on.


Replacement of a broken choke nob, by using a kitchen cabnet wood pull nob.
Just went to the Ace Hardware, and found this nob, that has a screw insert in it. Since the threds on the choke rod was already stripped .....I just made new theds with the insert threds. Been working like this for over 5yrs....never comes loose, and good grip for winter plowing days.

Cheep fix!!! Just a thought, that will work.

Mine came with a cabinet knob already on it. I acquired an OEM from a parts tractor, but it is still in the shop. I kinda like the cabinet knob, as someone else said, easy to grab with gloves on. Then too, a touch of "...there are many like it, but this one is mine."

10-32 looks real close.

 

[gears]

I thought 10-32 looked close but never put a thread gauge on it. GB, I like your knob (definately sound inappropriate) but I'd prefer one of those old cut glass pulls like Grandma had on her medicine cabinet.

 

[Mike Groom]

I remember it as 10-32.

Gary: I wouldn't think you'd even NEED a choke knob! :wink:

I want to hear more about that wrapped steering wheel - looks like a good idea, too: easier to grab with gloves.

Hope all is well.

Tom;
The wheel wrap, is a 16" auto steering wheel cover, that I bought at my local 'Parts Plus' Auto parts dealer.
It is stretchable enough to get it over the wheel and still use the foam pad, that came with the leather wrapping.
I installed that to 'soften' the wheel, and cover up the minor cracks in the OEM wheel, and has been on that wheel, as long as the choke nob...(same day install) Leather wrapping string, was included!!!!!
Think it cost me, about $16.!!???

Call me if ya want help with it.....those can be a 'Bear' to stretch, with-out breaking the stitching. I heated the cover, before installing!!! :roll:

Gary, back in the day, I used those covers on the steering wheel of my classic 1971 Chevelle Malibu - the chicks really dug it! :wink:

 

[greywolf224]

Tom I had one on my 1970 Ford LTD and my 1982 Ford LTD. They were the IN THING back then.

Gary,
I thought that was the sherman cable knob.

Kirk

 

[gears]

No, the Sherman cable knob was walnut, not pine.

 

[Del Huebner]

10-32 is correct and its the same knob as used on an original light switch.

lower right gauge looks like a temperture gauge. How did you install it? thanks Kathleen

I used another poster's information instruction sheet, for installing the Temp. guage, and sending unit!!

If you look on the 'Modern side' of this forum, my email button is always open for YT's safe mail.
Push that button and fill in the info. to send me an email!!
Once I receive the email I can then send you Hobo's instruction sheet.....FREE for the asking!!

Hope to hear from you, and thanks for the ??'s!!!

I ordered this Knob a couple of years ago:

http://external_link_com/catalog/9N9703-Years-1939-64-Knob-%28Choke%29

It had smaller metric threads than the original #10-NF threads on the original choke rod.

I drilled and taped it to the correct #10-NF size.

My "Guess" is the replacement Knob and Choke Rod are made overseas and are a matching metric thread size. Again, just guessing about two year old replacement parts.

Good Luck,
