560 throttle

Does anyone know the procedure on how to "tighten up" the throttle linkage on the 560 farmall?
The throttle (like a lot of them) moves half way down on the column before it raises the R.P.M'S. I would like to make it rite, like it was when it was new.
There are a few little ball joints through out the linkage, do they reproduce them? Or does any one know of any tricks?
Thanks!!
 
If the lever is loose you need another friction disk that fits between the lever and the dash, available from CaseIH. As to the governor not responding to the throttle, the operators manual tells how to adjust the linkage. Worn linkage can also cause problems.
 
The lever isnt really loose, and the governor is working, its just the first half, there isnt any RPM difference. When you go over half way down thats when it starts changing....
Good info about the friction disk though...I didnt know that.
 
You just have to look the linkage over from front to back. That little bell crank linkage that pivots through the casting is a real bad spot for wearing out and losing motion. I have rebushed a few of them but I don't recall which is the best way. I know I reamed out a couple but seems to me I used a drill on last ones and got lucky to make a nice round hole to fit a bushing in. I sometimes use copper water pipe to make different sized bushings for such things. Then I weld in worn out holes and make new threaded links to fit. Have to improvise to get things back into good working condition. Ball joints are still available.
 

I agree with Pete 23. I believe it is the bell crank under the battery tray.
While advancing the throttle watch what happens to that little shaft .Its wore oblong and a little movement there translates to lot of free play at throttle lever linkage.
I just restored my 560 last year and I had major problems there. I took the casting off and to a machine shop they drilled and rebushed hole and rebuilt the shaft.
Problem solved.
Only pic I could find shows four bolts that holds the casting and hopefully the linkage will help you identify the area.
