105-1844 Traction Control Cable for Toro Recycler 22'' Personal Pace Rear Wheel Drive Self Propelled Lawn Mowers, Replaces 105-1844 Cable-Traction

What It Is

The 105-1844 Traction Control Cable is the OEM replacement cable that engages and disengages the self-propel drive on Toro Recycler 22-inch Personal Pace rear-wheel-drive mowers. It connects the handlebar control lever to the transmission, allowing you to start and stop the drive system smoothly.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your mower’s model number (found on a plate under the rear discharge flap or on the engine cover). This cable fits Toro Recycler 22” Personal Pace models with rear-wheel drive, typically produced from the mid-2000s onward. Common compatible models include 20353, 20354, 20355, 20370, 20371, 20378, 20379, 20380, 20381, 20382, 20383, and 20384. It does not fit front-wheel-drive models or non-Personal Pace systems. Measure the existing cable length (end to end) – this replacement is approximately 36 inches. If your cable is longer or shorter, it won’t route correctly.

Key Things to Know

• OEM quality – This is a genuine Toro part, not an aftermarket copy, so fit and durability are consistent with the original.
• Easy replacement – No special tools required; just a screwdriver and pliers. Route the cable along the handlebar, secure with existing clips, and adjust the tension at the transmission end.
• Common failure point – The original cable often wears at the lever end or snaps due to rust. If your mower won’t engage self-propel or feels loose, this is the likely culprit.
• Check the lever first – Sometimes the handlebar control lever itself is broken, not the cable. Inspect the plastic lever for cracks before ordering.

Should You Buy It

If your Toro Recycler 22” Personal Pace mower’s self-propel is unresponsive, jerky, or completely dead, this cable is the correct, affordable fix. It’s a direct OEM replacement that restores smooth drive engagement. Avoid if your mower has front-wheel drive or a different cable length – this part is specific to the 22” rear-wheel-drive models only.
