Right Parts - Easy Install
June 06, 2021|Josh, Athens, PA

I recently ordered a lawn mower drive control cable (front-wheel drive transmission cable) and a lawn mower zone control cable (throttle cable) from Sears Parts Direct. It was easy to identify the right parts for my mower through Sears and both parts arrived within a few days. Installing the parts was easy and I got the job done within 30 minutes using basic hand tools. I'm not a mechanic by any means but used the existing cables as a guide to install the new ones. The mower is running perfect again.
