Parts Used
1. Make sure most of the gas is out of the gas tank. Will need to turn on side with gas cap on the upper side.
2. Power wash mower
3. Remove the battery
4. Remove the battery box (13mm socket)
5.Turn mower on side ( Ref. #1 above)
6. Secure mower to prevent movement (my preference: ratchet straps and hydraulic lift table)
7. Remove 2 each 8mm bolts from top of mower deck (one was under the battery box). The bolts hold the guard for the drive belt.
8. Remove the mower blade (14 mm socket)
9. Remove 1 each, 13mm bolt holding the guard for the drive belt.
10. Un-hook the remains of the old drive cable, needle nose pliers are handy.
11. Squeeze with pliers and pop the cable mount through the top of mower deck from the under side.
12. Use a torque screwdriver to remove the drive control handle mount. CAUTION: the control handle is spring loaded.
13. Carefully remove the old cable
14. Run new cable along the mounts built into the mower handle.
15. Carefully install the new cable
16. Bolt the hand control back on the mower handle.
NOTE: I put a spacer over the spring for the hand control. This enabled the cable about 1/4 inch more distance away from the drive belt. The Control Cable,
Part #: 532431650 fit perfect. It would have been nice if the if control cable could have been designed to be further away from the drive belt. If it breaks again, I will fix that.
16. Put everything back together
17. Warning! Let the mower set on it's wheels for several hours to let oil settle into the crankcase. You could damage your engine by attempting to start it too soon. Overall, this would have been a simple fix but I was trying to figure out how I could prevent it from happening again. Also, it is important to keep your drive cable adjusted properly.
