ANODZU 17527 Clutch Cable Replacement Fit for Earthquake Walk-Behind String Mower Parts, for Viper M200 28463 37676 40314 600050V Tazz 35258 40095

What It Is

The ANODZU 17527 is a replacement clutch cable for Earthquake and Viper walk-behind string mowers. It engages and disengages the cutting head by connecting the handlebar lever to the clutch mechanism.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model matches one of these: Earthquake Viper M200 (28463, 37676, 40314, 600050V) or Tazz (35258, 40095). Measure your original cable’s overall length (sheath plus exposed wire) to confirm—this cable is designed for 42-inch and 46-inch deck models. It’s an aftermarket replacement, not OEM, so check that the end fittings (hook, barrel, or clevis) match your lever and clutch arm. If your mower has a different mounting bracket or cable routing, it may not fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Budget-priced cable; some users report the sheath is slightly shorter or stiffer than OEM, which can affect routing on tight bends.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires removing the old cable, threading the new one through the handlebar and deck, and adjusting tension. Have a cable cutter or Dremel on hand to trim the exposed wire end if needed.
• Common gotcha: The cable may be slightly too long for some models, causing slack that prevents full clutch engagement. Adjust the barrel adjuster or add a small zip tie to take up excess.
• Lubrication: Apply light oil to the cable before installation to reduce friction and extend life, especially in damp conditions.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a compatible Earthquake or Viper mower and need a quick, cost-effective fix for a worn or broken clutch cable. Skip it if you prefer OEM exact-fit parts or have a non-listed model—measurements and fitment vary, and the minor adjustments required may frustrate casual DIYers. For the price, it’s a solid stopgap for most users.
