Easy fix, fast shipping, but
Fast, but expensive shipping easy fix. I have ordered before for other parts and always have had excellent results. Except for spendy shipping
The price seemed high, but it is an old mower. I hope it lasts long enuf to get some wear out of the cable.

Easy repair
Unfortunately, the part did not fit. The front spring made it too big for the space allowed.

I Pulled the old one out and then hooked the new drive cable up. Then I did the same with the start cable, all of this was pretty simple. Remember that the cover over the drive belt needs to come off.

When I disassembled the snapped wire I carefully noted how the wire was assembled. When I received the correct part, I attached the appropriate end to the spot to engage the wheel drive, put it through the cable holder part, attached the upper part to the correct spots on the handle and then replaced the plastic guard which was over the wheel drive pulleys. Really not too hard.
