Early last summer the front drive control cable on my five year old Yard Man self propelled front drive pusher began to hang up, I have other mowers so I just put it aside. Took the cable off when I stored it last fall, finally got around to looking at it in my basement shop. This is weird but the braided inner core broke off about 8 inches from the drive transmission end, I pulled both ends out of the cable and the ends of both are TAPERED for about 5 inches...like if you took a pencil and cut it lengthwise at an angle. I am thinking there was a kink in the cable housing somewhere that gradually abraded the inner core over time. Have NEVER seen anything like this before. Replacement is about $21 with shipping thru the MTD website....
