FAQ

This cable is designed for a wide range of riding lawn mowers and garden tractors, including Cub Cadet XT1 (LT46, LT46 FAB, LT50, LT50 FAB, LT54, LT54 FAB, GT50, GT54, GT54 FAB, ST54, ST54 FAB) and XT2 (LX42, LX46, LX50, GX54, GX54 FAB, LT54, ST54, ST54 FAB) series. It is also compatible with various models from Craftsman, MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Weed Eater that utilize the 7000 series engine platform.
This part replaces numerous OEM numbers, including 946-05098C, 946-05098B, 946-05098A, 946-05098, 746-05098C, 746-05098B, 746-05098A, and 746-05098.
You likely need a replacement if the throttle lever feels excessively stiff, binds during operation, or fails to return to the idle position. Other signs include a cable that has frayed, stretched to the point where the engine no longer reaches full RPM, or a choke control that no longer engages the carburetor butterfly valve correctly.
The installation is generally straightforward and can typically be completed in 30 to 45 minutes. You will primarily need a basic socket set, a screwdriver, and a pair of needle-nose pliers to release the cable ends from the throttle control assembly and the carburetor linkage. It is helpful to take a photo of the cable routing before removing the old one to ensure the new cable follows the exact same path.
When installing the new cable, ensure it is routed away from hot engine components and sharp metal edges to prevent premature wear. After securing both ends, verify that the throttle lever moves smoothly through its entire range of motion and that the choke fully closes and opens at the carburetor. Adjust the cable housing clamp at the engine end if the lever does not reach the full 'choke' or 'fast' settings.
