Product Information
Description:
| This Traction Cable is an OEM direct from craftsman for use with Craftsman Snowblowers. The traction cable connects the control lever to the clutch in the drive system in the snow blower. The most common reasons for replacing the traction cable are when the auger doesn’t turn or the snow blower wheels won’t turn. This part is sold individually. The tool that you will need to replace the traction cable is a nut driver. |

Less than 15 minutes
Tools Used:
Screwdriver, Pliers, Socket set, Mallot
Auger control cable broke
Removed the bottom access panel with socket set, remove 2 bolts and loosen other 2 bolts. Removed end cap off of control rod and used Mallot to drive shaft down so I could get enough clearance to remove old cable. Removed old cable and used a pair of needle nose pliers to insert cable end into shaft hole. Used long screw driver to push and hold control lever rod to put end cap back in with Mallot. Next connect Auger cable to lever cable and reinstall lower access panel and do an ops check.

The right parts always make for an easier repair.
Nice to find a supplier with older machine parts. Ereplacements is a great resource for diy or pro repair.
