Great service and a great price
The part I ordered was the perfect match, in fact it was a
craftsman factory replacement but you offered it for nearly half the price. I will purchase from you again if I need a part.

I had to remove the broken cable and replace it with the new replacement cable. The replacement cable fit perfectly. I found a "how to video" which made the job even easier. I was impressed with the whole process from Replacement Parts. You price was almost half of what I was quoted from the other company.

I lifted the lawnmower up on sawhorses. I loosed the bolts (6-7).I removed the plastic cover, on the lawnmower. Then, I removed the broken cable. I installed the new drive cable. I put the bolts back on. Then, the plastic cover back on, and tightened the bolts. I put it on the ground. I started it up, and I let it run.
