Additional Information

The Husqvarna Lawn Mower Drive Control Cable (part number 583180101) replaces part number 189181. This cable connects the drive lever to the gear case, allowing the mower to move forward when engaged. A functioning drive control cable helps maintain smooth, consistent propulsion for efficient mowing.

If your lawn mower won t move forward, moves sluggishly, or the drive lever feels loose, the drive control cable may be worn or broken. Replacing it can restore proper drive function and make mowing easier. To install, turn the mower off, disconnect the spark plug wire, and wear work gloves for safety. Use a screwdriver and pliers to detach the old cable and secure the new one, making sure it s routed the same way as the original.

Following your model s service manual for routing and securing the cable will ensure reliable performance and help extend the life of your mower s drive system.

The Drive Cable Fit Perfectly
May 17, 2026|Bob, Newark, DE

Needed to replace a broken Drive Actuator Cable on my 2007 Sears walk behind mover. Sears PartsDirect said this cable would fit and it fit perfectly. Was able to change it out in about 15 minutes.

Lawnmower drive control cable

My original cable broke at the end, requiring a new one. This part control the self propelled part of the mower. With the use of self-propelled you literally have to self push which is harder to do, since mower is a self propelled.
