Additional Information

The MTD Lawn Tractor Throttle Cable, part number 946-05098C, replaces older versions 946-05098A and 946-05098B. This cable links the throttle lever to the engine, allowing you to shut down the engine when the lever is moved to Stop.

If your throttle lever stops responding or the engine won?t shut off properly, a worn throttle cable could be to blame. Replacing the cable restores smooth and dependable throttle operation, helping prevent unexpected engine run-on after use.

During installation, disconnect the spark plug and wear gloves to protect your hands. Remove the mower deck if needed to access the cable connection points, and use basic hand tools to disconnect the old cable and attach the new one securely.

Keep your equipment running safely and efficiently by inspecting control cables regularly and replacing any that show signs of wear or fraying.
