Simple repair

Disconnected the spark plug. Replaced the v belt by unbolting one of the two belt guards. Loosened the second bolt but did not remove it. Removed the transmission cover and slipped the V belt off the blade and transmission pulley. Slid the new belt over the mower blade and pulley. Reattached the belt guard and tightened both bolts. Pushed the belt through to the transmission pulley. Slid the belt over the transmission pulley and reattached the transmission cover. Connected the spark plug. Fed Unhooked the self propel cable from the mower handle. Fed the cable though the new anchor, being sure to press the cable into the cable anchor slot. Adjusted the cable and tightened the cable anchor nut.

It was a pretty easy repair, just undo all the screws and bolts on the old parts and then put the new ones in (some of the parts, like bolts were still in good shape so I mixed and matched for what worked best regarding nuts and bolts). The traction cable does have to be set in the cable anchor properly so that it stays in place on the handle but otherwise it is very straight forward replacement of parts.

One thing I got wrong, though, is that the upper handle is not symmetric and the bolt securing the cable anchor has a square head, so you'll want to make sure to get that right...square hole goes to the left size (orientation is relative to the mower being in front of you, like you are holding the handle and mowing). I didn't realize that until I had the whole thing almost entirely back together again. If you miss that like I did, you can also use a hammer to seat the bolt so you don't have to disassemble everything again.
