Traction Cable 115-8435

Hi Wendell. Thanks for the question, we can help you through it. First of all, you will want to make sure you engine has cooled and you have disconnected the spark plug prior to beginning this repair. You will also want to note the position of the traction cable in the ignition switch bracket. Then, if applicable, remove the nut and washer securing the bracket and cable guide. Pull the bracket free and slide the cable out of the guide. Remove the Z-end of the cable from the traction control handle and carefully set the mower on its side. Use a flat head screwdriver to depress the two tabs, and release the old traction cable from the mower deck. Detach the spring hook from the transmission bracket and pull the cable free of any remaining guides. Now you can install the new traction cable. To do so, start by inserting the spring end into the mower deck and snap it into place. Attach the spring hook to the transmission bracket and feed the cable through the cable guides. Set the mower upright and insert the Z-end into the traction control handle. Finally, insert the cable into the ignition switch bracket and cable guide, and secure with the nut and washer. I hope this has been helpful for you, and good luck with your repair.
