Fixed worn drive engagement cable on 2012 Sears Craftsman mower with Honda engine. Still going strong. Better now with new cable.

Just what I needed!
August 30, 2021|rfleecs, Nebraska

Once I received the proper cables, I was able to install and in 10 minutes, my mower fired up! Honestly, I was skeptical at first, because the salesperson was so confident. My main issue was that the picture of the cable didn't match what I was seeing on my mower. But when it arrived, my worries were over. Thanks for helping me fix my mower!
