This is an authentic manufacturer sourced replacement part designed for Toro lawn mowers. The traction cable is used to engage the drive wheels of a lawn mower. It is connected to the traction bail and then attached to the traction bracket near the transmission. This cable is rubber insulated to help protect it. Includes one cable per order. To complete this repair you will need a screwdriver and pliers. • Note the position of the old cable • Remove the nut and washer securing the cable to the bracket • Remove one end from the control handle • Release the old traction cable from where it is secured • Release the spring bolt from the transmission bracket • Pull the old traction cable out • Secure the new cable in place • Reassemble in reverse order

On two separate orders I purchased which contained the drive belt, the traction cable and the deck clipping deflector, I was able to replace all the parts withing an hour of manual labor.The plastic clipping deflector underneath the main deck was the hardest part to replace due to the rear wheel axle having to be removed to replace the pa
... Read morert. The belt required it to be mounted onto two pulleys, one was on the main motor shaft and the other one was on the drive motor itself. The drive motor required a special nut driver which could have easily be found at Sears or any other tool place. The cable took on minutes to replace.The unit now runs like new and I was able to avoid having to spend another three hundred dollars to replace it.

Use pliers to remove the cable from the eyelet. Remove nut at cable holder just below your handles and pull cable out. Installation I usually start at the spring and wo

Removed the plastic housing near the front left wheel by removing 2 screws, then loosened the bolt on the handle that holds the cable. Rather easy install.
Went online and found a video with my exact mower and how to replace the cable. I watched that and then was able to easily change it out. The part that took the longest was finding my socket set! I haven\'t changed the side deflector yet, I needed to mow the lawn before it rained again.
Lay mower on its side.
Remove the 2 threaded bolts on drive housing cover.
Remove traction cable tension spring
Remove old traction cable
Install new cable by reversing above process

Cable connection to the handle \'insert\' frayed(Broke)
Observed the route of the cable to be replaced. Two bolts on the under carriage had to be removed to uncover the plastic housing to the drive cable. Unhooked the old cable and replaced the new. Adjust as necessary.
