This is a genuine Toro part to be used in walk-behind lawn mowers. The cable-brake attaches to the handle control and engages or disengages the mower blade. It may become detached or broken and can be replaced with this authentic part. If the cable is damaged the blade will not rotate and the mower will not be operational. It is priced as an individual part and is made of high-quality metal with a rubber casing. Multiple tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches, may be needed for installing this part. Refer to the specific owner's manual diagrams of your model to perform this repair.

Cable for my lawnmower
This cable is exactly like the original one. It’s amazing I have ordered replacement parts for my riding lawn tractor, my regular lawnmower and even my snowblower. The parts I ordered are exact replacements for what I needed. This company is top notch and I would rate them 11 stars out of 10. Never hesitate to order your replacement parts from ereplacement Parts no matter what you need.

Very Good part
The part was very nice. It was the same as the original except that it did not have that white mesh piece shown in the part photo. I had the original so it did not cause me a problem. Fit perfect and works correctly.
