pamcmahon Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Looking for the speedometer cable for my 47 85LS1112 Canopy Cab engine. The outer casing is still there, but no internal cable. Any ideas on where to find would be nice. Then I can see how slow I am actually going. I believe the part number is 98AX411.

Any ideas on where to find would be nice. Then I can see how slow I am actually going. I believe the part number is 98AX411.I'll do some looking for a vendor but that cable you mention will need to come from an aftermarket supplier. They will be custom to your sizing with either a crimped end to the round cable, or a deformed end which is usually .104 square.Before you go the expense of a new cable ensure your cable jacket is in good shape by feeded a small piece of wire through it. If the old drive cable has twisted and broken inside the jacket, there is no need to go further without the complete assembly. The cable and jacket are supplied in bulk rolls, cut to length per application, then assembled.

Firemack Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Fairplay,I replaced both the speedo and tach cable on the B75F, Barry at Watts Mack has a local supplier the cuts the cable to length. If you send the old cable casing in can either add a new cable to your casing (if ok to do so) or will build you a new cable and casing to the exact size of the sample you send them.You can send it Watts Mack attention Barry,and can call Barry if you have any questions.Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17250-speedometer-cable/#findComment-70372 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pamcmahon Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks all, the local speedometer company looked at the casing and said "most" ends at the speedometer were crimped square. I had him make one and the crimped square end went right into the speedometer.

pamcmahon Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yes, it was. The transmission part was easy to see, the speedometer I could only feel and see the cable housing and nut. The speedo shop took one look at the nut and said no problem.
