778365 Throttle Cable for Hustler; Replaces OEM 778365 1768191; fits FasTrak, Super Z, Trimstar ATZ Super S; Branded Cable, Total Length 49.21 inches

What It Is

This is a replacement throttle cable for Hustler zero-turn mowers, controlling engine speed via the dashboard lever. It’s designed for FasTrak, Super Z, Trimstar ATZ, and Super S models, with a total length of 49.21 inches.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your model and year: Fits Hustler FasTrak (2007+), Super Z (2008+), Trimstar ATZ, and Super S series. Verify your specific model year—early FasTrak models may differ.
• Measure your old cable: Total length must be 49.21 inches (end to end, including fittings). Measure the outer conduit length separately—should match your original.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Replaces OEM part numbers 778365 and 1768191. This is a branded aftermarket cable, not genuine Hustler. Fitment is usually identical, but check the end fittings (ball joint or clevis) match your carburetor and dash lever.
• Deck size irrelevant: Cable fitment is independent of cutting deck size—only the chassis/engine configuration matters.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Branded cable with metal ends and a durable outer sleeve. 4.4/5 rating from 34 reviews—most report easy installation and smooth operation.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the old cable, routing the new one through the same path, and adjusting tension at the carburetor. Basic hand tools (wrenches, pliers) needed.
• Common gotcha: The cable may be slightly stiff initially—work the lever a few times before final adjustment. If the cable is too long or short for your application, it won’t work—double-check your OEM part number.
• No safety issues: Not a safety-critical part, but a loose or frayed cable can cause erratic engine speed. Replace if your original is sticky or broken.

Should You Buy It

If you need a direct replacement for a worn or broken throttle cable on a compatible Hustler zero-turn, this is a solid, affordable choice. It’s not genuine OEM, but reviews and specs suggest reliable performance at a lower price. Avoid if your cable length or end fittings don’t match—measure first.
