Get me the model type and code from the Briggs engines. I can get into the the MTD system and find a model number or several that used that engine for a certain year that would narrow down your possible matches if the diagrams list the engine used..
Where would I find the motor model and type? There is a metal plate stuck to side of motor but all it has is oil info and emmission. I found a couple bar codes on the mower deck. One says Lot # TM1QC56 then SN# 5X65RU/162A0829
Yes that is the mower. I was trying to find decent images of the various parts blowups but everyone that offers parts blowup images offers one that is so blurry as to be unusable.
I got a 946-0555 but it does not quite work. The cable needs to be 62 inches or maybe 62½" and the sheath needs to be 58 inches. I was able to verify that a new cable would fix the problem by installing the 946-0555 but had to leave the handle end of the cable out of the holder and had to hold or zip tie the sheath end about 3" below the holder for that catch. that is how I came up with the needed length of each. With the 946-0555 it is still an inch or 2 too short as the engage handle can not be pulled back all the way but only about half way.
