 8)Hi all, well after a year of ownning my TK 1600 I made a couple of modifications yesterday that came out great.In the first couple of pictures are the automatic lubrication shut off valve. The valve is wired in to come on and off with blade clutch.The rest of the pictures are the liner actuator I install so that the throttle can be controlled from the control station.There is a DPDT rocker switch that changes the direction of the actuator located next to the clutch switch.

  Good pics, the throttle control looks quite a bit like the one my brother put on his TK2000, all mills with a stationary operators control should put them on as stanard equipment.  Steve

Griangers does not have them, I got it on line from http://www.firgelliauto.com/default.php
and the item is 1 x 4" Stroke 200 lbs Force Linear Actuator (FA-240-S-12-4) = $116.99

  VFauto:                   I got my 1600 last week and could see that a remote throttle was esential after sawing 1 log. i had basicly the same setup figured out  before i saw your pictures. Also could see that an automatic lube turn on would work out well too. It must be true that great minds travel the same path. I searched" the surplus center " for  a linear actuator . A little cheaper than your source. I talked to a rep at Kohler and he suggested  disconnecting the throttle cable and installing the actuator on the back side of the engine. i like your setup better cause you can see where the throttle is positioned. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Not only can you see it, if it stops working and you want to keep sawing just unhook it.  The best $100 or so you can spend on mill improvements.     Steve
