Deck Engagement Cable w/Spring - amzn.to/3r1btjS
hi, great video. it is 3 years old when I watched. so you may have already figured out that the cable housing on the deck was not installed correctly. the way you installed it, the cable can just slide up out of the bracket. the plastic piece on the end of the housing should be in the bracket in the horizontal position. you slid it in vertically. It is made to slide into the bracket in the direction of the cable. not down from the top. the opening is for the cable to fit through, not for the housing. but otherwise a great video. some day my videos may be this good.
Looking at my cable I understand what you mean. The end pokes through and the oval washer turns 90° to lock it in. Hadn't noticed that so thank you.
Dude my mower just broke this part today, you are a lifesaver. Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you so much for the thorough video. This was perfect. My husband is currently deployed for US military duty and he always fixes this. This time I did, thanks to you. 🙏🏼🇺🇸
HUGELY helpful to me! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You Rock!!!
thanks so much, you made it look easy! I can not get that spring to hook back up#@! great job filming it. my mower is a little older and the cable hooks up differently but still helped me out!
I actually just came across this channel today. It's already proven incredibly useful to me with just this one video. I will be watching more! And I've subscribed too!
Thanks James!! It was very straight forward. Mine was slightly different but just repeated what you show in the video. Watching your video probably saved whole a lot of time!!
Thanks for the how-to. Mine broke last week and a new one is on the way. Glad the grass stopped growing for awhile.
I had no idea what I was doing. I followed your video step-by-step and I amazed myself it is working. Thank you so much.
Great camera work! This video was extremely helpful. My tractor is a different model, but I got the gist of it.
Awesome video! You helped me get an old Bolens back in service at our deer camp.
Man this was an excellent video, great camera work and you explained very well what you did. This is a video that I needed to see because I'm working on a Troy-Bilt Pony deck tomorrow, keep up the great work!
We have an ancient 2008 Yard Machine the cable broke on. A 62 yr old grandma was out there trying to replace via another video with no luck. YOUR video saved the day. It is clear, precise, and so easy to follow. Excellent job! Thank you.
I agree with tracyb433
I have that same 2008 yard machine! Lol 😂 Don’t look forward to this repair- but it was an excellent video!
Thank you!! I think with your video, I can fix this myself!
Is it a yard machine 742 RL by chance? I have a similar issue
I do repair work and I go to there home if needed
Try to help the older folks
Within minutes of watching your video I knew what to do. Excellent! Just waiting on the one day Amazon cable delivery. I went with a cable with better reviews for $3 more cause I want it one and done! Thanks 👍
Great job. I lost the retention spring while removing the deck from the mower and had no idea what was missing. I finally discovered the problem, and your instructions are a big help in reassembly. Thanks.
I agree with the comment preceding this. The video was perfect. From demonstrating the problem, to viewing what caused the problem, by tracing the cable from where it broke to the mower deck. Demonstrating the the need to measure the cable for correct size, attachments, clips, washer placements, cautions in running the cable to avoid mistakes. A great video. Thank you.
Fantastic good simple explanation. The mower is a mystery and we are trying to figure out how to work it because my friend was really the only one who knew it however he passed so his boys have to learn about it.RIP Bryan Manning
Thank you! Sorry to hear about your friend.
Had to replace the deck cable on a troy bilt xp. Watched your video and it was easy. Thank you. Now back to mowing... Thumb up
Thanks ... This same cable broke today on my tractor. Part on order. I dropped the deck to clean and maintain and will replace all the drive belts. Good video explains the job very well. Thanks.
One of the clearest instruction videos I've ever seen on RUclips. You are very very clear in your communication and your video quality is excellent. It's really great to experience this video presented by somebody who really knows what they're doing. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for the nice feedback. Glad you liked the video. I try to make sure I capture everything I think I would need to get the job done. Thanks again!
I agree,, very clear and simple advice on how to change that cable.. helped me immensely
@@HowToWithJameswas this a 42 inch rider?
Excellent video, 3 years after you made it and I am ordering the cable today. I tried to find the cable path myself but never thought of looking under the battery. Duh. I couldn't figure out where the hookup was on the handle. Thanks to your thorough explanation and amazing camera skills I should be able to fix this no problem. My 2007 Troy Bilt Pony will be mowing again in 2 days. BTW I knee jerk ordered new belts before I watched your video but after 16 years it might be time to replace them anyway 🙂
Help is good because I like to visit and laugh
Thank You’ll for information and advice
Really good job James. I was afraid I might have to take off the whole seat pan but you "showed me the way"!
Excellent video . . . Thank you.
Thanks for the video, the routing of the cable was wrong on the mower that I have. Somebody had run it under the body and in a danger zone. All the action happens down there! They had that defenseless little cable in a bad neighborhood! 😅 Your father in law was a good helper for you. I believe he caught the fact that you put the cable going (over) the belt 😂. Good teamwork guys. Again, thanks for the information. Second hand mowers can be a nightmare.
Hey! Great video! The bungie cable idea worked perfectly! I have a newer model, so a little difference on mine. But this video saved me a ton of money...only cost me $15 for the part. Thank you so much!
excellent camera work
Thanks for the video explained a lot... The keeper for the cable had me going nuts... Trying to figure how it went back on... But you showed me the trick with that little push... Got it fixed today... Again many thanks...
Would have never thought of taking out the battery! Thanks! Liked and Subscribed.
Excellent camera work and very well explained, thanks bud!
Thanks for the video, good camera work getting in there, much appreciated!
Wow you just saved me a lot of aggravation and time ! Thanks !
I bought a used a mover yesterday, went to use it and this cable broke the second time I engaged the blades.
Thanks for the video, hopefully Amazon will deliver mine tomorrow and I can get to mowing
Hell yeah brotha you're a lifesaver, workin on one of these bad boys right now and this shit had me scratchin the noggin for a while lol
This is one of the best ‘How to’ videos that I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Very well done!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
How do I fix the blades from engaging
Not the cable the deck is right the front rod adjustment I call it is right I don't know why it won't release
Thank you! Best description for replacing the cable!
Great video
Great video thankyou
Tanks man, I was stuck working om my mower, it is not the same mower but it was what was wrong with mine and the video gave me an idea of what to do
Thank You! Seems to me like we need customer friendly engineers. Maybe they could build them with repairs in-mind? 🤷♂️😂
Awesome! I am a mechanical idiot. I followed your directions and it worked. Now it was tough getting some of the stuff off but i had it done in under a hour. My mower would of been in a shop for a month and I would be pushing almost two acres of land. Thank you! Plus you saved me money I can not afford to loose.
I’m with you! Guy who sold me used mower won’t return my calls. It felt like a simple fix but no one available to hire. Yeah maybe we idiots can do this small job ourselves
11-3-2022….Helped me greatly on my Troy-bilt work Horse Xp built year 2012. Had to replace the engagement lever, cable, 1 break pad, and the deck belt. 🫵🏻 Your video gave lots of pointers and thanks for the explanations. 👏👏👏👍🏻✅ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

A great instructional. Thanks!
Buen video. Muchas gracias. Amén
Thanks for the video came in handy
Thank you sir,.sweetwater Tennessee,my issue is the plastic replacement part,seems wider than the old piece,hard to fit back in with paint on the metal, plus my cable is different
My Mini-Rider 24" has the lever end outside the body and the blade end never had the plastic washer and metal clip...it has a long spring which is aggravating to install. The cable isn't actually broken but it soon will need replacing and I've got that identical cable so many thanks....I can properly install it now. There are only 3 clips holding the deck in place and not enough room to unclip the spring so dropping it takes 5 minutes and makes any repair possible
👏👏 Bravo my guy. Seriously hats fucking off! No sarcasm 🍻🍻 I watched you do it one handed. Went out back and struggle busted for a solid 30 min on the bungie cord. Broke the whole ass bolt going to the blade guard attaching the pulley. 10/10 Fucked it.... again not your fault I wouldn't even of eventually get it off and no worries the bolt is getting replaced and most likely welded in place.
Thanks brother just replaced mine
Right on the money. Thanks
Outstanding
Good Job
Really good video. Hope you get many subscribers.
Thank you
Seems like you have a lot more space between your deck and the mower than I do! I have to drop the deck to access everything. And it's still tight!
Bmnnñnmopn
Yes I got the same mower the cable for discharge is in the right place but it locked up don't know how to free it to unlock the disengage when you crank it belts are turning
Have a craftman riding lawnmomer with manual lever when move the lever belts tighting up but nothing
I have a White model LT-542H, setup looks identical to yours. The problem I'm having is that there is too much tension on the PTO cable with it disengaged. So the brake pads are not making contact with the pulleys and the blades spin all the time even when not engaged. When I manually pull the lever with the break pad towards the pulley, I see it stretching the spring on the cable, and it won't even let me force it far enough for the brake pad to make contact. The spring on the cable is in the correct hole in the lever on the deck labeled 42" which is what I have. There doesn't seem to be any tension adjustment at the lever end. Just wondering if you have ever seen that problem before and have any suggestions. Thanks
I've already got the deck out since I just changed deck belt - should I still go down under the battery? - never done anything like this and so proud I even got the deck down lol!!
You have to go under the battery if you’re replacing the cable…. You could also check the drive belt and the transmission belt while you’re in there! Keep up the great work, you don’t know unless you try!
When you first look at the deck it’s kind of overwhelming but after you figure it out it’s pretty simple, it really just hangs there
Will the blades stay stuck on if your PTO cable breaks?
Thank you! I have the exact same issue as you and used your vid. Thanks.
How do you repair the engage handle mine snapped off
Which cable do I need for a toro 13-38xl?
Instead of a hook, my cable has spring on one end and a round hoop on the other end (bought at same place as I did the mower)
at 8:26 that plastic piece just sits into the metal mounted clip. Mine is too tight, Should I try and stretch out the spring or something?
Good
