Exact Replacement!
This drive cable was an exact replacement for the original cable. The ordering process was simple and the part arrived in a reasonable amount of time. It wasn't cheap but it was a lot cheaper than buying a new mower. Also, for those who might have needed it, instructions for installing it was available on the website.
