FAQ

This cable is designed for 2-stage snow blowers manufactured by MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and Yard Machines.
This part replaces OEM numbers 946-0897, 946-0897A, 746-0897, and 746-0897A.
You likely need a new cable if your auger fails to engage when the handle is depressed, if the cable is visibly frayed or stretched, or if the auger continues to spin even after you release the control lever.
The installation is a straightforward process that typically takes 15ā€“30 minutes. You will generally need a set of basic hand tools, including pliers and a wrench set, to disconnect the old cable from the auger housing and the control handle and secure the new one in its place.
Yes, once the new cable is installed, you must adjust the cable tension using the adjustment nut on the cable housing. Ensure there is enough slack so the auger does not engage prematurely, but enough tension so that the auger engages firmly and immediately when the handle is fully depressed.
