Funhoon Control Cable GY21106 77 INCH for John Deere L110 L100 L108 L111 L118 LA100 LA105 LA110 LA115 LA125 GY20156 PTO Control Cable 42-inch Deck Riding Lawn Mowers

What It Is

This is a replacement PTO (Power Take-Off) control cable for select John Deere riding mowers. It engages and disengages the mower deck blades. Designed for 42-inch deck models, it’s an aftermarket alternative to OEM part GY20156.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model and deck size. This cable fits John Deere L100, L108, L110, L111, L118, LA100, LA105, LA110, LA115, and LA125 models—all with a 42-inch deck only. It is 77 inches long; measure your existing cable from end to end to verify length. It replaces OEM part numbers GY20156 and GY21106. Not compatible with 48-inch or 54-inch decks, or with newer 100-series models (e.g., L120, L130). Check that your mower uses a manual PTO lever (not electric).

Key Things to Know

• Installation is moderate. You’ll need to route the cable along the frame, attach to the PTO lever, and adjust tension. Basic hand tools (wrenches, pliers) and about 30–60 minutes are typical.
• Check cable routing. The cable must follow the original path to avoid pinching or binding. Look for old cable clips or guides on your mower.
• Adjustment is critical. After installing, adjust the cable so the PTO lever fully engages and disengages the blades. Too loose = blades won’t engage; too tight = premature wear or lever damage.
• Quality is good for the price. Users report it lasts 1–3 seasons under normal use, but it’s not as heavy-duty as OEM. Fine for homeowner use, not for commercial.

Should You Buy It

If you own one of the listed John Deere models with a 42-inch deck and need a budget-friendly, functional replacement for a worn or broken PTO cable, this is a solid choice. It’s not built for heavy commercial use, but for residential mowing it offers reliable performance at a fraction of OEM cost. Just verify your cable length and model compatibility before ordering.
