What It Is

This is a single-speed drive cable that engages and disengages the self-propel function on Troy-Bilt TB200 and TB210 walk-behind mowers (and compatible Rotary 15102 models). It replaces OEM part numbers 746-04728, 746-04728A, and 946-04728.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Models: Troy-Bilt TB200, TB210, and Rotary 15102 series. Also fits some Craftsman and Yard Machines models using the same cable.
• Deck size: Typically fits 21-inch and 22-inch decks on these models—check your mower’s model tag (not just the deck size) to confirm.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket replacement, but it matches OEM specs. Verify your original cable part number is one of the four listed above.
• Measurements: Cable length is roughly 39 inches from end to end. Measure your old cable’s overall length and mounting hook-to-hook distance before buying.
• Connector type: Look for a plastic barrel end at the handle lever and a Z-shaped hook at the transmission end—match your old cable’s ends.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy to moderate. You’ll need basic hand tools (screwdriver, pliers) and about 15–20 minutes. No special skills required.
• Common gotcha: The cable routing matters. Run it along the same path as the old one to avoid kinking or binding. Check that the sheath doesn’t pinch against the handle or deck.
• Quality note: At $12.99, it’s a budget-friendly option. Some users report the plastic barrel end can crack if overtightened—hand-tighten only.
• Adjustment tip: After installation, test the self-propel engagement. If it’s too loose or tight, adjust the cable barrel nut near the handle lever (turn 1/4 turn at a time).

Should You Buy It

If your Troy-Bilt TB200 or TB210 self-propel cable is frayed, snapped, or stuck, this is a reliable, low-cost fix. It’s a direct-fit replacement for common models, easy enough for a DIYer, and backed by solid reviews. Skip it if you need a dual-speed or variable-speed cable—this is single-speed only.
