Additional Information
MTD snowblower drive cable part number 946-0898A connects the motion control lever to the drive system to engage forward or reverse movement. If the snowblower won?t propel or the control lever feels loose, the cable may be worn, stretched, or broken. Replacing it restores proper traction control so your snowblower can move smoothly through heavy snow.
This drive cable is built for harsh winter conditions and frequent use. During installation, disconnect the spark plug wire or power source for safety. Use a screwdriver, pliers, and wrench set to remove the old cable and install the new one. Make sure the routing and tension match the original setup to ensure consistent drive response.
Always check compatibility with your model before ordering. For step-by-step instructions, refer to your snowblower?s service manual. Replacing a damaged drive cable keeps your snowblower running dependably through winter?s worst.

Quick Install
The metal piece on the drive cable that fastens to the handle broke in two on an extremely cold day. After looking at it, it is probably the "weak link" in the cable assembly and should be made sturdier. However, the new cable was an exact fit and easy to install. Most work was taking the plate off the bottom (4 screws, 3/8"). The bolt (7/16") for the little reel also needs to be loosened to get the new cable to feed around the reel. I didn't have to remove the bracket with the reel at all. Be careful when buying the drive cable as for some reason seemed tougher to find than the auger clutch cable and the speed control cable. They are all different lengths, at least. To install, I did have to tug the cable (engage the clutch) to get it to reach the handle. At first it looked too short but it was a perfect match once installed at the handle. A leisurely 15-20 minutes install, and that included looking for tools and trying to stay warm. Probably 5-10 minutes for someone who knows what they are doing and keeps their tool box organized.

Took longer to drain the fuel
Drain Fuel, place piece of wood in front of the machine to stop auger taking weight when turning machine onto its front. Remove 4 bolts from bottom panel and ease panel off. Loosen pulley bolt on tension plate so old cable can be removed. Unhook old cable spring from mechanism. Attach new cable to the handle, route around pulley and tighten pulley bolt, being careful to keep pulley centered. This is critical as you could tighten it off center and break the plastic pulley. Using pliers, take spring end and pull it enough to engage the clutch mechanism. Refit bottom plate. Make sure the cable doesn't rub against the plate. There is a slot. Adjusting the tension plate slightly can ensure it doesn't rub. Cable should have no slack, but not be really tight. To tight and the machine will take off when you start it. Refill fuel tank. I left the machine for a few minutes to let the oil settle. Start and make sure the machine doesn't move until you operate the clutch drive lever. If it does move, loosen bolts on tension plate and adjust to allow a little less tension. Job done.

Not quite what I needed
It took some engineering but got the cable to work. It's not adjustable and doesn't come with any sleeves to keep it protected from rubbing up against the metal.
