Broken self-propell cable

The only trick to replacing the cable is being able to adjust the length at the lever side so that the position of the metal rectangle that engages the wheel drive system is just about 1/16\"-1/8\" beyond the drive\'s lever under the mower. That rectangle end has to slip over the drive lever and that is the only trick to this install.

Wheel drive engage cable broke

Craig from BOTHELL, Washington

Difficulty Level:

Tools:
Pliers
Parts Used:
54630-VH7-A04
1. Flipped the mower on it\'s side.
2. Figured out how to disengage old cable from drive unit without mower disassembly. (long handle, long nose heavy needle-nose pliers)
3. Fished the new cable through the same route/path as the old cable
4. Reattached new cable to same location as old cable
5. Reattached handle e nd of cable to drive engage handle
6. Adjusted cable setting so there was no tension & no slack
7. Mower now operates exactly like it did before the original cable broke.

I believe the reason the cable broke was improper assembly of the new mower at the dealership. A tie wrap pulled the drive able almost 90 degrees from the handle entry angle. This means the cable had to navigate a sharp corner which caused excess friction and premature failure. I\'ll tie wrap the replacement cable further down the handle so cable positioning is correct and this failure won\'t happen again.
