It covers the part number, cost (about $47 plus shipping), removing the alternator, tracing the cable's convoluted factory routing, pulling it out, and installing a new one with a cleaner reroute. Useful for owners troubleshooting the same symptom.
Posted by the Twin Brook Acres channel, an owner-operator documenting his own repair on his personal tractor.
The cable likely gets cold and binds up inside its sheathing, causing trouble moving through the bends, which makes it squeal and the tach needle jump between about 1000 and 3000 RPM.
The part number is 6254437M92, listed for the 1700 series but believed interchangeable with the 2600 series; it cost about $47 plus about $15 shipping.
Disconnect the battery, remove the alternator's two bolts (12mm upper, 18mm lower), and swing the alternator out of the way, resting the pulley on the tractor frame.
The cable has a key that must drop into a keyway slot at the connection; hold the cable straight and gently turn the keyed end until it drops into place, then bolt it down.
