Additional information

This snowblower clutch cable bracket, part number 790-00426-0637, mounts to the snowblower frame or housing and holds the clutch cable in the correct position so it moves smoothly when engaging or disengaging the drive. Proper cable routing helps maintain consistent control response and reduces wear on both the cable and surrounding components.

If the clutch cable bracket bends, cracks, or becomes loose, the cable can rub against other parts, bind, or wear prematurely. You might notice increased resistance at the clutch control, delayed engagement, or inconsistent drive operation if the cable is not guided properly.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Bracket and cable areas can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the cable sits securely in the bracket and moves freely before using the snowblower.
