Cool and the Gang
I was able to find cables for my 1995 MTD snowblower in less than two minutes. They were in stock, shipped, and at my door in a couple of days for a very reasonable price. E-replacementparts is cool and the gang for sure.

I removed the bottom cover plate to expose the clitch cable spring. I removed the old cable and installed the replacement cable and spring. The only challenging part of the job was getting the cable tension adjusted correctly to allow the drive control to function.
The chute flange keeper was easy to install; just a matter of putting it in position and installing the bolts.
All the parts fit perfectly.

Attached cable to clutch lever. Reattached bottom plate after brief inspection of clutch wheel etc. Then adjusted cable for desired drive line tension.
