choke rod

looking for choke rod for jd 50

One from a B or 520 or 530 may work if you don't find one specifically for a 50.

Again, it would be easy to make with a 1/4 rod.

You could probably get by with a generic choke/throttle cable, you know the one, black pull button, woven/spiral outer and wire inner. HTH

These tractors used a 1/4" rod as mentioned. Not sure how you'd ever get a cable type choke to work.
As mentioned, bending a piece of rod would not be that difficult. The hard part might be finding the button that screws on the end to pull it with.

The choke button, or knob, is sold on this site.

I stand corrected. I didn't realize anyone was selling those. I just looked in my Steiner catalog and they have them too. Who knew??

Rich - I wouldn't have known either, except I had a JD 50 with a big red plastic knob on the choke rod. When I overhauled the tractor a couple of years ago, I bought a proper choke knob from YT Parts. Then a JD 620 that I acquired needed a choke knob, so I turned one for it on my lathe. I didn't save a nickel making my own - it took me a couple of hours to make a $10 knob, ha.
