112-9752 Throttle Cable for Toro TimeCutter Zs 4200, Zs 5000, Ss 4235, SS 4260, SS 5060 Riding Mowers

What It Is

This is an OEM replacement throttle cable for Toro TimeCutter ZS 4200, ZS 5000, SS 4235, SS 4260, and SS 5060 zero-turn riding mowers. It controls engine speed by connecting the throttle control lever to the carburetor.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Models confirmed: Toro TimeCutter ZS 4200, ZS 5000; Toro SS 4235, SS 4260, SS 5060.
• Check your mower serial number – even within these model lines, cable routing changed over production years. Cross-reference with your mower’s parts diagram (available on Toro’s site) to confirm cable length and bracket mount.
• OEM part – this is genuine Toro, not aftermarket. Expect exact fit if your mower matches the model list.
• Measure your old cable – overall length and housing length. This cable is roughly 60 inches total, but variations exist. If your cable is shorter or longer, this won’t work.
• Deck size is irrelevant – throttle cable fitment doesn’t depend on deck width, only on frame and engine configuration.

Key Things to Know

• Installation is moderate – you’ll need to remove the control panel and routing clips. Allow 30–60 minutes. No special tools beyond a screwdriver and pliers.
• Common gotcha – the cable ends are pre-swaged. You cannot adjust cable length. If your mower has a different bracket or engine (e.g., Kawasaki vs. Toro-branded engine), the cable end may not seat correctly.
• Lubrication helps – apply light oil to the cable housing ends and the inner wire before installation to reduce friction and extend life.
• Check the old cable for kinks – if the cable is frayed or bent, replace it immediately. A sticking throttle can cause unsafe engine speed changes.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Toro TimeCutter ZS or SS mower from the listed models and your throttle is stiff, stuck, or broken, this OEM cable is a reliable direct replacement. It’s priced fairly for an OEM part and avoids the fitment guesswork of generic cables. Skip it if your mower isn’t on the list or if you can measure and adjust a universal cable – but for exact fit, this is the right choice.
