946-04367A Throttle Cable Fits MTD CLT42H CLT46CVT T1000-LT2500, Yard-Man Craftsman Troy-Bilt Tuffy Husky Murray Pony Bronco Tractor, OEM 946-04367,746-04367,746-04367A; Length 34.45 inches

What It Is

This is a replacement throttle control cable for MTD-built lawn tractors, controlling engine speed by connecting the dash-mounted throttle lever to the carburetor or governor arm. It’s designed for mid-to-large lawn tractors (42-inch decks and up) used in residential mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm two things: mounting style and cable length. This cable’s overall length is 34.45 inches (measured from the housing end to the carburetor end). Measure your old cable from the same points. It fits MTD platform models including CLT42H, CLT46CVT, T1000, LT2500, and tractors from Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Husky, Murray, Pony, and Bronco. Check your model number – not just brand. This is an OEM replacement (replaces 946-04367, 746-04367, 746-04367A). Aftermarket versions may have different end fittings; this one uses a standard barrel end at the carburetor and a clip-style dash mount. Verify your tractor’s throttle lever uses a similar clip or hole mount.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM-grade construction with a smooth plastic sheath and metal core. Users report it’s durable and fits without modification on compatible models.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate – requires removing the dash panel and routing the cable along the frame. No special tools, but take photos before disconnecting the old cable.
• Common gotcha: The 34.45-inch length is critical. If your old cable is shorter or longer, this won’t route correctly. Measure both ends (dash to engine) before ordering.
• Lubrication: New cable is dry – lightly oil the inner wire at both ends after installation for smoother operation.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if your MTD-based tractor’s throttle is stiff, sticking, or broken, and you’ve confirmed the 34.45-inch length matches. It’s a direct OEM fit for listed models, priced reasonably at $20, and backed by strong user ratings. Avoid if your cable length differs or your tractor uses a different mounting style (e.g., screw-on vs. clip).
