Cable-traction broke, upper handle was breaking

It was a pretty easy repair, just undo all the screws and bolts on the old parts and then put the new ones in (some of the parts, like bolts were still in good shape so I mixed and matched for what worked best regarding nuts and bolts). The traction cable does have to be set in the cable anchor properly so that it stays in place on the handle but otherwise it is very straight forward replacement of parts.
One thing I got wrong, though, is that the upper handle is not symmetric and the bolt securing the cable anchor has a square head, so you'll want to make sure to get that right...square hole goes to the left size (orientation is relative to the mower being in front of you, like you are holding the handle and mowing). I didn't realize that until I had the whole thing almost entirely back together again. If you miss that like I did, you can also use a hammer to seat the bolt so you don't have to disassemble everything again.
