Check the carb linkage that fits a K241 or similar model Kohler engine used on cub cadet garden tractors.

If you can't find a suitable replacement, try the online catalog for McMaster-Carr hardware supply in Atlants, GA. If they don't have it; Nobody will have it. They are a wholesale supplier but sell to anyone even if you order one part, only one time. Great business to do business with. I've never had a problem with them.

McMaster- Carr has a good selection of swivels depending in the rod size you need.

Lang's sells that part for the early timer rod end. Have a spare one, new in pkg. too.

That appears to be one that comes with the TTP distributor kit - it's "modern".

Looks very close to what Ford used originally. I have several NOS ones for my cars that are not for sale.
