FAQ

This cable is designed for a wide range of snow blowers manufactured by MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Ryobi, and Yard Machines. It is specifically compatible with 600-series snow throwers built between 1995 and 2002, 700-series models built in 2003, and various units including 312-610E000, 313-610E120, and 314-616E131.
This part replaces OEM numbers 746-0898, 746-0898A, 746-0898B, 946-0898, and 946-0898A. It also cross-references with part numbers STW60-0014 and 290-904.
The cable has a total length of approximately 43 inches, including both ends. The inner cable length is 35 inches, and the cable with the spring end measures 37 inches. The assembly is adjustable to ensure proper tension for your drive system.
You likely need a new cable if your snow blower fails to engage the drive system when the lever is pulled, if the lever feels excessively loose or has no resistance, or if the cable shows visible signs of fraying, kinking, or stretching. If you find that the drive engages intermittently or slips under load, the cable may have stretched beyond the point of adjustment.
Installation is a straightforward process that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will generally need basic hand tools, such as pliers and a set of wrenches. After routing the cable through the frame and attaching it to the drive lever and the transmission engagement arm, you will need to adjust the tension so the drive engages firmly without slipping, but still allows the lever to return fully to the neutral position when released.
