Last winter I put my new to me 7240 in the shop and proceeded to replace the shifting cable. Out of the tractor the old cable and the new one took about the same amount of effort to move! I returned the new one. I took a short piece of 3/8" fuel hose and connected a small funnel to one end of the cable, stood it on end, and kept filling the funnel with light oil over a few days. I also did whatever I could to straighten the curves in the cable. That involved enlarging a hole in the bottom of the cab and altering the lower end anchor bracket(just above the fuel tank) It took several tries routing the cable under the cab before I was satisfied it was at its best. I was concerned that the oil in the cable might draw dust and eventually make it worse. That was a year ago and I am happy with the results. The sad part is that I am convinced that there is no way a cable shift will ever work as easy as the linkage in my old JD 4020D PS.
