Craftsman Lawn Mower Control Cable
Genuine Mtd part
By: Mtd
Part Number: 946-04173E

The cable seen here is an authentic replacement that is sourced from the manufacturer. This control cable is used for lawn mowers. It will pivot to pull the belt idler pulley, which will fasten the belt and spin the mower's cutting blades. When the cable is not working properly, it could mean that the blades will not spin properly and not provide the mower with the cutting capability that it should have. The cable that comes with the mower tends to be durable, but this does not mean that it will not need to be replaced at some point. Many things could happen to the cable that would require a replacement. The spring might start to wear out, for example. The cable could become frayed or corroded, as well. Owners should always make sure they are wearing gloves when replacing this part. They will need a screwdriver and pliers to complete the repair. The cable is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold individually. This cable will work with more than 130 models of mowers. Brands with compatible models include Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, Yard-Man, and MasterCut.
