That's what the cable does on mine also. The middle of the spring on the end of the cable had rubbed on a pulley or belt and was cut apart.

I had to drop the deck and pull it part way out to connect the cable. Nothing to it except this 70 year old man was just about done himself after getting down on the ground and back up several times and skinning the backs of my hands up. That is all heeled now.

I've mowed with that Craftsman 42" 6 spd manual mower four times since the repair and enjoy the mower more since I know how it compares with more expensive Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, and John Deere 42" mowers.

My $450 variable speed - self propelled 21" Craftsman push mower that I paid $20 for was a joy to use also. Looks like a new one since I replaced the missing cover.

The MTD riding mower assembly factory is just down the highway from my house. At night I hear the fans on the roof and the air compressors.
We should share what we know... someone may learn...
That knowledge can live after us... and that "Pays It Forward".
Be all that you can be . . .
