I have removed all of the deck parts on my TroyBilt TB30 rider except for the PTO spring. I know that the cable needs to be pulled back in order to line up slots in the cable part of the connector with the slots on the deck idler bracket. However, the cable will not slide out of the deck idler bracket. The part on the cable only has one channel. Where the other channel should be is a piece with a small hole in it that looks like it may be for a cotter pin. Has anyone encountered this and if so how was it taken care of?

You should have a pin holding the cable on the back side of it.... If you don't then it's one those you have to squeeze with a pair of needle nose pliers and then pull out..... JD's have the pin on the back side.....
If you pull the deck out just a lil bit then you have more access and room to do that...........

Here's a video link on a couple cables..... You can skip the comedy skit and go to the 6 minute mark for the actual fixes ....... At the 11:30 mark this might be similar to your mower....
