Additional information
This snowblower drive cable wire support, part number 747-05360A, holds the drive cable in the correct position so it moves smoothly when you engage or release the drive control. It helps prevent kinks, rubbing, or misrouting that can affect how the drive system responds.
If the support bends, breaks, or comes loose, the drive cable may rub against other components or fail to move freely. You might notice inconsistent drive engagement, extra resistance at the control lever, or premature cable wear.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. The support and nearby components can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the cable sits correctly in the support and moves freely before operating the snowblower.
