As always, ensure mower is unstartable (disconnect spark plug) before attempting repairs. Set mower on it\\\'s right side (as you\\\'re standing behind the mower) for the following repairs.
1. Remove the left rear wheel adjacent to the point where the cable spring attaches.
2. Take off the bolt holding the side of the Brace
... Read more Plate (part number J-25 on the Rear Axle diagram, it\\\'s really a metal bar across the rear of the housing) off from the same left side as the wheel from step 1. Move the bar away from the area where the spring attaches.
3. Unhook the spring from the axle assembly.
4. Pop off the plastic hole cover (Plug Dome, part I-27) to give more room to remove the old cable.
5. Remove the spring end of the old cable from the mower housing by pulling it out from the top of the housing. Loosen the screw on the Upper Anchor-Cable attachment (part H-17) and slide out the remaining upper end of the cable by pulling it down toward the housing. Discard the old cable.
6. Insert new cable spring from the top of the mower housing.
7. Using needlenose pliers, attach spring to axle assembly hole. (A lot easier said than done, but it eventually goes in.)
8. Put WD-40 on all parts.
9. Pop the plastic re-inforcement part on the new cable into the housing hole. Slide it over and reattach Plug Dome.
10. Re-attach Brace Plate from Step 2 with bolt onto housing.
11. Re-attach wheel from Step 1. Set mower upright.
12. Slide upper end of cable through Upper Anchor-Cable attachment from the bottom. Do not tighten yet. Pull it through until you can complete the next step.
13. Insert top end of traction cable (metal hook end) into handle hole.
14. With mower handle in non-started position, pull Traction Cable from below the Upper Anchor-Cable attachment until it is taught above the Upper Anchor-Cable attachment. Tighten screw on Upper Anchor-Cable attachment. Ensure cable functions correctly when you depress the power handle.
15. Repair complete!
If you are like me and never paid attention to where the cable attached at the handle, the repair could take much longer than necessary. Other posts on this site address the removal and attachment of the cable from under the machine. What these posts do not address are two (2) issues that could have made the repair much easier.
... Read more />One: When attaching the new cable to the transmission, rather than only bringing the spring far enough to try attach the spring/hook into that small hole on the lever that controls the transmission, pull enough cable through so that you can easily attach the spring/hook into the hole form the underside of the lever. Once attached just fish the excess cable back through the opening on the mower deck.
Two: The curved end of the cable that attaches at the handle does NOT attach at the same location on the left side of the handle as does the cable on the right side of the handle. If you attach to this location the mower will only move forward when you pull back on the handle. The cable attaches underneath the sliding handle. You will see a lever under the handle that it will attach to.

Lawn mower traction cable (the cable that controls the drive wheels) broke on my Toro Personal Pace mower.
Take note of how the old cable is routed (important)
Removed the old cable by
using a socket wrench to remove the cable hold from the handle bar,
Removed the Z clip by hand,
Turned the mower on it\'s side and used a screwdriver to remove the cover for the access hole

Removed the cable hold from the mower deck using pliers (had to use a good deal of force)
Ran new cable (spring side) through the deck access hole
Attached cable spring to transmission clip (somewhat difficult because of limited access)
Run cable through cable guide on handle post
Run cable through cable hold that will attach to handle bar post but do not attach it to the handle bar post yet
Attach Z end to handle bar
Push cable hold onto the hole in the mower deck (will snap in)
Make sure cable is routed correctly
Reattach cable hold to handle bar post
Make sure you do this in the correct sequence otherwise you will find yourself taking it apart and redoing it. This is the first time I had to make this repair and as such, it was a learning experience, if I have to do it again it will go easier and faster. This is a good repair to do yourself. Be aware that when you have the mower on it\'s side it will likely leak a little oil and gas, so it\'s good to do with an empty or near empty tank and be sure to check the oil level when you are finished.
I found out that I needed to set my mower on a pair of saw-horses to make the underside of the mower more accessible. After dropping the spring end of the cable through the access hole of the mower body I eventually maneuvered the spring into place with a pair of needle nose pliers. After that it was only a matter of attaching the other e

Only a bit of difficulty with hooking the end of cable through eyelet.
With the mower on its side, I ran the cable through pass in the lower deck and with a little effort hooked the bracket through eyelet. After that part, it was a breeze. Just attached the cable stop and hooked other end to the moving handle mechanism to ensure a taunt cable finish. And after that I checked it out with much satisfaction, it
