This is an authentic OEM sourced replacement part designed for use with snow throwers/blowers. It allows you to engage and disengage the unit. This cable is sold individually. You may need pliers to complete this repair. • Remove the cable end from the control head and install the new one • Now you can run the new cable down to the control handle • Attach the other end of the cable • Tie the cable in place just as the old one was, but leave enough clearance and free play to avoid over-bending and breaking the new cable

This is why I order the correct replacement part asap. I also think that while you have your machine apart it is good to replace other springs or cables that appear corroded. Take a look at belts too.

Spring snapped on original drive clutch cable after a seasonal adjustment.
Removed bottom plate (3/8 wrench I believe). Loosened (not removed) small guide pulley on handle to slip out old cable off which in turn made it easy to slip new one back on. Attached cable to clutch lever. Reattached bottom plate after brief inspection of clutch wheel etc. Then adjusted cable for desired drive line tension.
propped up the snow blower, looked it over, the lower part of the cable fell off, used vise grip to hold the 1/8\" threaded part near the top handle to unscrew it, loosen the plastic roller pulley with 1/2\" wrench, oiled the threads, tightened it back up, greased and oiled all exposed parts. It was one of the easier snow blowers to work
