How-to install a cable engagement on a craftsman lawn tractor. Craftsman, Poulan, AYP, Husqvarna part 175067, 169676 Deck clutch cable with spring.. amzn.to/3TS5nTN
Helpful video, thank you. For non-mechanical people such as myself, it would be even more helpful if all steps showing how you fish the cable through were shown. Thanks again!
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
Dude! I have been searching the Tube for an engagement cable replacement vid, and I finally found my model of lawn tractor with you! Thank you for walking me through this! Subscribing!
Thanks for the video. The part in your description ended up being the fastest to deliver and the cheapest of all the other options I sifted through before watching the video.
thank you so much! this was the only video on youtube that actually helped me to see how the heck to install a new cable, highly recommend this video!!!
I just did one of these deck cables...mine was broken and I rebuilt my old cable. I know these are under 10 bucks right now on ebay, but I didn't want to wait for the shipping. So my local hardware store has a spool of the same inner cable they sell by the foot and I simply pulled out the rust broken cable and installed the new cable. I leaded the ends to make a ball for the plastic adapter to connect to the engagement handle on the top end and spring on the deck. Works like new now. This is the kind of silly things a person does when he has too much time on his hands.
Thank you! I've been trying to figure out what hole this went down through cuz I had way too much slack! Thanks so much for your video and the way you showed everything.😊
Thank you so much for you video. The last time my cable broke, I had it repaired for $180.00. Part of the charge was a $90.00 charge to pick up my mower. Thanks again.
thank u 4 your help full video,, asd a mechanic myself,, ive worked on my lt1000. many of times,, however my cable just broke,, and if i didnt watch ur video i wooda fought the cable at the top behind the dash tooth and nail,,, yes i wooda taken the tank of,,, however i never wood of even thoght of removing the control lever from the dash,,,, thank you again,, jon
Love the channel. I just got a 03 craftsman i believe an lt1000, same 15.5 hp briggs, same shifter setup like Maine mudd mower. Doing electrical troubleshooting, and I have to replace this cable and free up the engagement on the deck. Your videos are helping me out quite a bit
Good video, gave me all info i needed to replace cable during deck removal and free up engagement pulleys. 17 year old LT2000 never needed any repairs till sliding pulley jammed up thus I broke cable trying to engage blades. Cable was rusty and that's what was jamming with rusty/dirty plates! Changing Oil and filter at least once season. Tough Craftsman mower! Thanks for the info!
Muchas Gracias amigo.....I followed all your process...... I already removed the gas tank.. ...n starting to pull out that bracket 2x4..u call it .....if I have any issue ... I will replay ..the Video. Starting from the top. Thank U again. Andres . . . . . . . . Long Island, NY
Thanks. Helped me do it. But I have a question. It takes a lot more oomph to engage the blades, so the old spring must have stretched. But it still doesn't engage right away, I have to drive it maybe 100 feet or a minute or so. New belt. anything else needing to be replaced?
Great video. I have the coil spring thing that was somewhere on the engagement handle that popped of. I assume that it's a tension clip. I have no idea where it goes. I do know you didn't lose a spring, but I'm a pro when it comes to losing screws and stuff
My lt2000 was running a few days ago now no power and pto handle very sloppy there is a big spring that is behind gas tank attached to back of pto handle I can't figure out where it attaches to any help really sick of this mower
In the beginning way too much work you do not have to disconnect the engagement lever just squeeze the two plastic tabs together pull down on the cable and the cable will come out when you use the finger to pull up on the plastic end of the cable to get it off the nub
I had the same issue after replacing the cable! I'm wondering if I routed the cable through the incorrect path from the engagement lever back to the pulley. After I saw in this video and noticed that he was routing the cable along side the solenoid cable through the back of the firewall I'm starting to wonder if that's where it should go. Too many turns in the cable results in more resistance when trying to engage. My mower I think is a 1994 so it could be different than yours. Good luck!
@@TheChamberWebsiteGuy I took the deck off again, 2nd time after first replacing spindles and pulleys, the belt and the blades. I didn't check the first time if the engagement pulley would slide up and down. Saw some other videos and sanded/grinded the spacer (looks like a washer), washer that goes underneath that and where you push the bolt through and also the deck where the cable engagement pulled sits on top of as some guys say that needs to be smooth. I greased it, put it all back together and it now finally works. You might need to take off your deck and see in the pulley the engagement cable sits on can move freely when you pull and push it back. On yeah, and additionally there was NO return spring which I had to order. Take good photos so you can more easily put it together. I took photos but they turned out not so great so I couldn't figure it out easily and had to watch 2, 3 different YT videos to figure out where and how all the parts go back.

Excellent tutorial. Showed me everything I needed to know to change the cable. Thanks!
I thought the spring goes in the little hole in the lever that breaks the pulley? It goes above the pulley? I have a old poulan pro.
Thanks sir. Great job 👍

My lt2000 was running a few days ago now no power and pto handle very sloppy there is a big spring that is behind gas tank attached to back of pto handle I can't figure out where it attaches to any help really sick of this mower

Thanks
Where do I get this cable
In the beginning way too much work you do not have to disconnect the engagement lever just squeeze the two plastic tabs together pull down on the cable and the cable will come out when you use the finger to pull up on the plastic end of the cable to get it off the nub
Replaced the cable but it's difficult to move it up in order to engage the blades and mower is not cutting. Anybody got any ideas?
