Right part in stock
The speed cable on my Troy-Bilt snowblower snapped in our first big snowfall. For the second time! Troy-Bilt doesn't ship to Alaska or have an advertised dealer up here who carries parts. It took a while to find eReplacement on the internet -- on a Sunday! The right part came within a week and was easy to replace. I ordered two, one for backup.

Right part first time
This was the correct replacement part for my snowblower, which from some parts dealers doesn't always happen on the first try. This is the second time I have used Ereplacement and if needed I will certainly use them again.

I moved the speed lever to full forward speed position and pulled the new cable through the lever hole provided for the purpose. I removed the lower adjustment bolt in the speed control arm. I pulled the attachment bracket up and away from its original position so that I could insert the lower cable fitting in one of the center hole provided. I pushed the bracket back down, almost as far as it can go and reinstalled and tightened the bolt.
