This is an authentic OEM part for use with Craftsman Lawn Mowers. The bail control bar lets you start the engine when you pull the bail control bar against the handle and stops the engine when you release it. This part is sold individually. The most common reason for replacing the bail arm is if it is damaged. There are no tools needed to replace the bail arm.

Control handle review
Fast shipping! I actually just used the new control handle today, it was a gamble that paid off, there was only 2 yard machines mowers listed and I did not have any info on my mower, so I took a chance judging by the image, it's not an exact fit, it comes up just a little short but works fine, I purchased this control handle because the original one crumbled and broke in half, for a couple cuts I was using a control handle from a weed eater brand lawn mower, it worked but it was a longer control handle and it created major pain in my hands, I am so glad I took a chance on this replacement part! Thanks!

1 Control Handle very easily snapped into place,

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.
Remove the control cable from the handle. Remove the control handle from the upper arm. Install the right side of the new control handle first, then insert the right side and attach the control cable.

Broken belts and cables not throwing the snow anywhere.
With the unit off and cold I removed the belt cover and slipped off the old belts. They were so bad I didn\'t need any tools. Both belts have spring loaded pulleys so to install the belts I slipped on the inside belt first and then the outer one. The cable had 2 hooks and a pulley. With the old cable broken I simply unhooked both ends. I
