Dalom 946-1113A Blade Control Cable for MTD 746-1113A Troy-Bilt TB200 TB210 TB320 Walk-Behind Lawn Mower 51-1/4-inch Cable / 37-3/4-inch Conduit Craftsman 946-1113 746-1113 Brake Cable

What It Is

This is a replacement blade control cable (also called a brake cable) for MTD-built walk-behind mowers. It connects the handlebar bail to the engine’s blade brake, allowing you to stop the blade when you release the bail. Designed for Troy-Bilt TB200, TB210, and TB320 models, plus compatible Craftsman units.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, measure your old cable. This part has a 51-1/4-inch cable length and a 37-3/4-inch conduit (outer sheath). It replaces OEM numbers 946-1113, 746-1113, and MTD 946-1113A. Fits Troy-Bilt TB200, TB210, TB320, and similar Craftsman walk-behinds with 21-22 inch decks. Double-check your mower’s model number – not all TB-series use the same cable. If your original measures differently, this won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• OEM-equivalent, not MTD-branded. Dalom is an aftermarket supplier. Reviews indicate it matches OEM quality for a lower price.
• Installation is moderate. You’ll need to remove the handlebar cover, disconnect the old cable at the bail and engine, then route the new one carefully. Takes about 20-30 minutes.
• Watch the routing. If the cable binds or is kinked, the blade brake won’t engage correctly. Keep the conduit curve gentle.
• Check the bail spring – if the spring is worn, the cable alone won’t fix a loose lever.

Should You Buy It

If your mower’s blade won’t stop when you release the handle, or the bail feels slack, this cable is a direct, budget-friendly fix. It’s for DIYers comfortable with basic cable replacement – skip it if you want a factory MTD part or need a different length.
