2006 Bobcat B250 S/N 572211069 backhoe/fel throttle cable

My throttle cable (aka acceleration cable) for a 2006 Bobcat B250 S/N 572211069 that is approx 72" long from the side lever throttle lever to the throttle has seized and needs replaced. I have a real good pro heavy equipment mechanic who tasked me with finding it. It has metric fittings on both ends. I have several super fabrication shops that either only do push-pull or can't do metric. The diesel D1105 is Kubota and they make the cable, but not for a Bobcat B250 as that cable was manufactured by Bobcat and at 72" is much longer than anything they can supply. Salvage yards can supply anything Bobcat except this throttle cable.

Short of a miracle I think I am looking at some Hillbilly Engineering. Bailing wire, duct tape etc.
I have the $200 dealer service manual, the Operation and Maintenance manual and more and none give the part number for this cable. The Chinese sell every S, T and E model Bobcat throttle cable, hundreds of them it looks like. I have tracked down several parts numbers but they always lead back to Kubota and "that's a Bobcat part, not a Kubota part, we never made those."
Any thoughts, prayers, ideas, sorry-for-your-loss etc much appreciated.

Best, Jon

Thanks so much. If I have to go that route that is a high quality cable. I see they also sell a clevis yoke for the throttle connection.
