Anyone else have this design?

The threaded rod on mine as bent so it slips off the throttle actuator often.

I bent it back today and while I was in there I was wondering what that big fender washer is all about.

Same one as I had. I think it's the stopping point so you don't unscrew the throttle to far. Jake at FMI assembled you truck. Call and talk to him if you get stuck.

Looked at again. It creates an electical connection when it's backed all the way. That way you don't engage the pto with the machine on high. It's what keeps you from engaging the pto unless the throttle is all the way backed off.

I have that same design.........the only thing I could ever figure the washer is there for is to make sure the cable and everything does not break threw the mount it is on when you release the cable and bring the RPM's down for the machine.........
