Part Information

Basic Information

  • Part Name: Snowblower Clutch Cable
  • Manufacturer: MTD
  • Category: Snowblower
  • Primary Function: Links the snowblower drive control lever to the clutch

Installation & Compatibility

  • Compatible Models: Fits various MTD snowblower models. Please confirm this part is correct for your model before ordering.
  • Installation Difficulty: Medium; requires basic technical skills and caution
  • Tools Required: Pliers, screwdriver

Additional Information

The MTD Snowblower Clutch Cable, part number 946-0898, replaces part numbers 746-0898 and 746-0898B. It connects the drive control lever to the clutch, allowing you to engage or disengage the drive system as needed. If your snowblower won t move or respond when the control lever is pressed, a worn clutch cable could be the cause.

To install, disconnect the spark plug wire and use pliers and a screwdriver to remove the old cable and attach the new one. Wear work gloves to protect your hands while working around metal parts. Make sure all connections are tight to maintain smooth operation.

Replacing a damaged clutch cable helps restore full control of the snowblower drive system, especially in heavy snow conditions. Regular inspection and timely replacement keep your machine running reliably through the winter.

March 31, 2026|CLL, Gaylord Michigan

We are very pleased with the service we get from Sears Parts Direct. Even though the part we ordered for our Craftsman snow blower was on back order, they still got it to us in less than 2 weeks. We are very impressed with your company.

Two similar parts listed for the same cable
January 31, 2021|lumbercoyote8, Alta, WY

Two similar clutch cables are listed for the same application. They're basically the same except one is about four inches longer than the other. Best to chat with customer service to try to get the right one to avoid re-ordering and returning hassles. Once I got the right one, installation was simple. I had to bend the hook on the spring just a bit to get it in the hole it goes in, but that's the only thing I would mention.

All Good

It was a very good quality part and easy to assemble. Directions for where the spring hook connects would be a good idea, though!
