Correct part number worked fine!
Once I got the correct PN I was able to fix the mower in no time. Your fixit hints worked wonderfully. Just wish your parts list that showed Not Available had some cross reference to the alternate PN number that worked fine!

It looked like it was going to be impossible for me to replace the drive cable but it was easy. Just one bolt under the back mower flap (where the bag goes) to remove to do the whole job. Thanx Troybilt!
