703562 Drive Cable for Snapper & Briggs Self Propelled Mowers | Compatible with SP65-550, SP65-625, SP70-675 Self Propelled Walk Behind Mower Fits Snapper & Briggs and Stratton Lawn Mowers.

What It Is

The 703562 drive cable is a control cable that engages and disengages the self-propel drive system on select Snapper and Briggs & Stratton walk-behind mowers. It’s designed for residential mowers with a 550, 625, or 675 series self-propel transmission.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number—this cable fits Snapper SP65-550, SP65-625, and SP70-675 self-propelled walk-behind mowers, plus compatible Briggs & Stratton units with the same drive system. Check the deck size (typically 21–22 inches) and verify the cable length (approximately 36 inches from end to end). It is not a universal cable—measure your old cable’s housing and wire length. OEM part numbers to cross-reference include 703562 (Snapper) and 692190 (Briggs & Stratton). Avoid assuming fitment based on brand alone; always match the transmission series.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: This is an OEM-replacement cable from Snapper, not a generic aftermarket part. Expect durable steel wire and plastic housing that matches original specs.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the handlebar cover, disconnect the old cable from the drive lever and transmission, route the new cable along the same path, and adjust tension at the transmission end. A basic socket set and pliers are required.
• Common gotcha: The cable end at the transmission can be tricky to seat fully—ensure it clicks into place or the drive may slip. Also, check that the cable isn’t kinked during routing; a sharp bend will cause premature wear or failure.
• No adjustment barrel: This cable uses a fixed-length housing, so tension is set by repositioning the cable clamp at the transmission. If your mower has a separate tension adjuster, verify compatibility.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Snapper SP65-550, SP65-625, or SP70-675 (or a Briggs equivalent with the same transmission) and your self-propel cable is frayed, stretched, or broken, this is a direct, reliable replacement. It’s priced fairly for an OEM part and installs without modification. Skip it if your mower uses a different drive cable length or transmission series—measure first to avoid a return.
