This Traction Cable is an OEM direct from craftsman for use with Craftsman Snowblowers. The traction cable connects the control lever to the clutch in the drive system in the snow blower. The most common reasons for replacing the traction cable are when the auger doesn't turn or the snow blower wheels won't turn. This part is sold individually. The tool that you will need to replace the traction cable is a nut driver.
