This authentic replacement part is supplied by original equipment manufacturer for use on Toro walk behind lawn mowers. This cable consists of a metal wire cable with z-type bent ends and rubberized cover/body. The control cable stops the blade when the control handle is released on walk-behind mowers. If the cable is broken it will cause the brake to not release even when the lever is pressed.
You may need pliers to complete this repair.
• First you want to see where the old cable is attached to the motor assembly
• Just remove the cable end there and install the new one
• Now you can run the new cable up to the control handle
• Then just as the old cable, put the z-shaped end through the hole in the control handle
• Once both ends are attached, just push the upper mount assembly of the old cable out of the hole in the upper handle
• Tie the cable in place just as the old one was, but leave enough clearance and free play to avoid over-bending and breaking the new cable
