This drive cable is a genuine OEM sourced part. It is specially designed for use with a variety walk-behind lawn mowers. This is the special cable that controls the drive function of the unit. Unfortunately, over time it may wear out or get damaged eventually requiring a replacement. This drive cable is made of high-quality metal with rubberized insulation and is sold as an individual item. To complete this repair you should only need pliers. • First you want to see where the old cable is attached to the motor assembly • Remove the old cable end there and install the new one • Now you can run the new cable up to the control handle • Once both ends are attached, tie the cable in place just as the old one was • Leave enough clearance and free play to avoid over-bending and breaking the new cable

wrong part delivered even after CAREFULLY describing the need for an engine throttle cable!
No rating possible...
I ordered an ENGINE THROTTLE CABLE...NOT THE CLUTCH/DRIVE CABLE SHOWN and delivered.
Since I when ordering, I carefully described the engine throttle cable, I request an equitable remedy.

3.Using a nut driver I removed the drive assembly cover and used a screwdriver to pry cable bracket from the handle. Once the cover was removed the old drive cable was easy to remove and replace without the need for further tools. Once the cover was replaced and new bracket, (which comes with the cable), was pressed into place I started the mower ensuring everything worked. All told all the repairs took about 30 min total and there were no surprises making for a very easy and trouble free fix.
Height adjustment lever finally snapped off and the cable jackets were broken causing water to get into the cables and rust them out making them not move freely.
