The engine zone control cable stops the blade when the control handle is released on walk-behind lawn mowers. If the cable is broken it will cause the brake to not release even when the lever is pressed. This is a genuine OEM sourced replacement part that is designed for use with lawn mowers. Please note this durable metal rubber insulated cable is sold individually.

Easy fix and part available after 15 year old mower for parts.
I've used this company in past 15 years. I've received the parts as order, some how I lost my cart and called and the lady help me located it place order for me and I like the diagrams to show me my lawn mower and part I need. They let me know if discontinued or in stock. I've always received my parts as ordered and in normal mailing. For me as a D I Y . Thanks for another great shopping experience.

Disconnect cable at both ends & re-connect new cable in reverse order of disconnecting the old cable. You need 1/4 socket to take plastic cover off at motor end. You could use pliers, but I prefer to use socket. That's it! I have to admit I did not know what the cable was called.

This was my first time replacing these parts. It was an older model. There were no instructions in my manual for replacing parts so I went online most were newer models but I got a pretty good idea what I needed to do.
I made sure I looked to see how I was taking off the control cable and replaced the new one the same way. I had to use needle nose plier to remove the old cable (little black flaps), they have to be pulled away from the cable (pulling them off) after that it was simple to remove the entire cable and replace it with the new one. Watch how you connect the cable (your ends) to the lawn mower base.

1. Walk behind mower has safety lever on handle which must be gripped to start or run. Cable runs down handle to back of motor.
2. Manuals said cable problem was frequent cause of failure of mower to start.
3. I found that the broken cable easily pulled out of sheath, half from each end.
4. Removed old cable assembly, and then the housing, spring, and half cable from back of motor.
5. Manuals showed part number for mower, only 3 years old. However, part number had changed several times. Many websites no longer offered the part but after two or three hours of searching, I found the part on eReplacementParts.com. Part had to be ordered from manufacturer and I got it in about two weeks.
6. Part installed in about one minute. Then, pliers were used to re-connect spring, and screwdriver to re-install cover where cable attached to motor -- another minute or two tops.
