Stock hand throttle

My '68 has it.

 

my 59 has one and that answers my previous post
Thanks

 

Certainly it was gone by '72. Don't know if it was optional or not. It was a stock item - I shelved a lot of them in the Jeep parts dept. around that time.

 

my 55 has the twist lock"military" my 70 has the pull type

 

My '67' did not have one when I bought it new. However for less than $5.00 I could buy a 'Throttle' named cable from the dealer, so I did and installed it. There was a hole in the dash where the Throttle cable should go.

My 71 did not come with one new, but I added one. It had the hole for one however in the dash. Great for the PTO. Plus JEEPs have to have cruise control don't they?

Greencj5 here is how I did mine. Its lasted for 36 years with no problems and has always worked great with never having any hangups or anything. I just drilled a hole in the side of a washer and then just placed the washer on the throttle rod, and ran the manual throttle cable through the hole in the washer with a cable clamp on the other side. When the regular foot throttle moves, it just goes back and forth on the manual cable.

I think that just answered my question about how to put a throttle on a 225. I'll have to give it a shot this summer.

 

My '61 has one or should I say had one. I removed it when I bought it since the po had it disconnected with the cable just hanging.

 

I set my '69 with a 225 up like this last night. Works great so far. Thanks for the tip. Don't know if it was ever a stock item on later early CJ5s (that does not sound right) but it should have been.
