Husqvarna Lawn Mower Repair - How to Replace the Drive Cable

[@gregsimpson621]

Excellent video!!!! My Husquvana is like 20 years old. Then, they didn't sell just the cable. They wanted the whole assembly for $79. And this happened the first year I owned, rear wheel drive, 1 lever to adjust all 4 tires, etc. So I went looking for cable. Found some at a TSC store although slightly thicker but it still fit through the rubber hose. I used the broken cable to give me the desired length. Then feed through the rubber original hosing. Now I needed the metal ends as I tried to use with no success. So I went to the tackle box, got a couple of those little lead sinkers you slide on your fishing line, and crimp on your line. I put one on each end. I then used my cheap soldering gun, flux, and welded them on while working to get the approximate shape of the original ends. Then I attached as you have shown and it's been working great for almost 15 years. Cost me $3.29

Could not have done it without your help! Thanks so very much!!!!

[@TheTechString]

Very helpful! Thank you for keeping it concise and accurate.

[@freemanb36]

Thank you very much. Very clear, easy to understand video!

[@kellymaurer6806]

thank u...greatly appreciate the step by step AND the part number as Husqvarna's site sucks and doesn't show the cable part number.

[@AtlasVRC]

Very helpful thank you. You wouldn't happen to know what size those screws for the drive control are would you?. Different Husqvarna (7021r) but same drive control. Unfortunately I have no screws to mount it to the handle.

Thank you!!! You saved me from my wife telling me I knew you could not do it

[@jimwatkins2436]

Cannot tell how you connected end of cable and spring to the transmission

[@glennr9913]

Just what I needed. Thanks

[@tailsnumber1fan5590]

i appreciate the how-to. however, unfortunately mine is an awd model and the cable goes into the rear of the deck, so this isn't for me i'm afraid.

Very helpful, thanks

[@truleyblessed7406]

Thanks buddy

[@signedup2462]

My drive cover does not have a visible fastener on its top. Do you know how to remove such a cover without breaking?

[@sparcs56]

Same here. Have you gotten any ideas since then?

[@kenclicker]

Please show cable replacement on the RWD 21" and is it necessary to pull off all the plastic protection sheath on the mower's under side? Also, why ISN'T there a protective screen above the blade where the belt is exposed to grass clippings and moisture. I have to replace the cable 21/2 years after purchase.

[@amberdiggins5342]

Did you ever find out how to do this on the RWD?

[@jankot1770]

Thanks, you've helped me a lot. I'll comment in my language, so it could be searched better in Poland. Wymiana linki sprzęgła AutoWalk #husqvarna, #partner, p53, #p35, #linka, #wymiana, #autowalk, #awd, #linkap53, #partnerp53, #linkapartner.

How come the video doesn't work?

[@tpaine121]

You kinda skipped over how to attach the cable to the transmission. Even watching multiple times it’s hard to understand. I have a 6 year old model that doesn’t look exactly like this. Please adjust your comments.

No value to me mine is a 7021R Rear Drive this is for a front drive

[@AtlasVRC]

While it's in the front and some parts are different the idea is the same...ish, still can learn a lot from this. I also have a 7021r. Found it in a reuse area and am rebuilding it bit by bit, I love it. Parts like the drive control assembly, cables and stuff are all the same.

The video stopped right after it started.

Man that lisp is hard to deal with.
