This review is for: Harbot 175067 Deck Clutch Cable for Craftsman LT1000 LT2000 DLT 3000 AYP Husqvarna Poulan 169676 532169676 532175067 21547184 42 inch Lawn MowerI've had to replace the mower deck clutch cable for my Craftsman LT-2000 Lawn Tractor before. It's a bit of an annoying repair, because the cable has to be threaded through the tractor's chassis. I think the reason the cable needs to be replaced is that it is similar to the hand-brake cable on a bicycle: a wire going through a flexible, reinforced tube. Over time, I think the wire stretches until it can no longer engage the clutch for the mower blades.So, I ordered this clutch cable, fiddled around underneath the mower to install it and was delighted that it worked great when I finally powered up the mower and plowed through a lawn that had grown to about a foot in height during the downtime waiting for this and other parts that were needed for various repairs on the tractor.I've only used it once, so far. Amazon likes to push for a review around the time that the product is delivered, so I'm talking about hours of use with this product, not days, weeks, months, years...What I can say is, this product was: Reasonably priced. Delivered quickly. It felt like it was quality made. Installation was about as easy as Craftsman's design of their tractor allowed. After months of the deteriorating function of the old cable, the ease of engaging the mower deck clutch with the new cable was so smooth that I wondered if it had actually engaged at all. One of the joys of being a DIYer is the happy surprise of something turning out better than expected.Recommend. 5 out of 5 stars for the little experience I have with the product so far.

It fit like it should, good price, durable,

It fits perfect, works great

Arrived on time and is a good product

Original style control cable/Honda-like/ heavy duty construction, easy, snap-in fast installation. My 2013 Honda HU800 AWD lawnmower starts like new on the first pull! *****.

I went with what the other reviewer said about the brass spring one because thats which one broke on mine so they said the black spring cable is more like the original i got it and its working good so far.On my hook up i put a long bolt through the engagement pulley because if i left the hook up how the factory sets it the spring will rub the deck belt til the belt breaks so i raised the spring up some to keep the rubbing from happening.The new engagement cable comes looking to short but its a perfect fit. It only takes a few seconds to put on

My cable has been slowly seizing up over the past couple years. I just rolled with it and it trained me to wiggle, jiggle, and tweak the handle to get the cable to make it engage and let me start the mower. One day this finally was frozen solid inside the sleeve to keep it from moving despite penetrating oil, pulling, and pushing. This came quickly, and easily was installed in minutes. Upon pulling the handle, I realized how much earlier I should have replaced this. Good price and great fit. Definitely recommended.
