A quick fastener for mounting a hydraulic cylinder to a casing, whereby the hydraulic cylinder has a fastening device, and the casing has mounting structures in the casing wall. The mounting structures act in concert with the fastening device so that the hydraulic cylinder can be mounted to the casing wall without using tools. The fastening device includes primarily a fastening nose and a catch spring with a catch nose, as well as, a stop collar or groove. The mounting structures include at least one opening in the casing wall that have contours into which the fastening nose as well as the catch spring with the catch nose can be inserted. The advantage of this quick fastener lies in the simple sealing of the chambers on both sides of the casing wall, with a simple assembly, by inserting, in the direction of the axle of the hydraulic cylinder, and the swinging or positioning, as desired, of the hydraulic cylinder into the mounting position. The quick fastener can also be secured, also manageable without tools, by supporting the catch spring through appropriate securing elements.

The throttle breakover apparatus has a cable with one end coupled to an accelerator pedal and a second end terminating in a cable stop. The cable second end is slidably coupled to an engine throttle lever at a position inward from the cable stop. A sleeve surrounds the cable and extends from the cable stop through the throttle lever. A coil spring surrounds the sleeve and is positioned between the throttle lever and the cable stop. A spring guide guides the motion of the coil spring. In response to the depression of the accelerator pedal, the throttle cable first pivots the throttle lever to a full throttle position. Once full throttle is reached, the coil spring is compressed between the cable stop and the throttle lever and absorbs the additional "breakover" movement of the cable.
