Hipa 183281 Lawn Mower Throttle Cable for Craftsman 917 Husqvarne 7021P Poulan Engine Zone Cable 532183281

What It Is

This is a replacement throttle control cable for gas lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers, allowing you to adjust engine speed from the dash. It’s designed for Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan models using the OEM part number 532183281 (also listed as 183281).

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your OEM part number – It directly replaces Craftsman 532183281, Husqvarna 532183281, and Poulan 532183281. Verify your old cable’s number before buying.
• Fits specific engine families – Works with Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and some Tecumseh engines on select Craftsman 917, Husqvarna 7021P, and Poulan Pro models. Not universal.
• Measure length – Cable is roughly 60 inches from end to end. Measure your old cable (including housing and wire) to confirm it matches your deck size and routing path.
• Check cable end style – This cable has a barrel end at the engine side and a slotted clip at the dash. If your mower uses a different attachment (e.g., a threaded end), it won’t fit without modification.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is decent for the price – Metal housing and nylon inner wire hold up well in normal residential use, but don’t expect heavy-duty commercial longevity.
• Installation is straightforward – No special tools needed; just a screwdriver and pliers. Route the cable away from hot exhaust and moving belts to avoid chafing.
• Common gotcha: cable routing – If the cable is too tight or too loose, the throttle may not reach full open or idle. Leave a little slack at the engine end for adjustment.
• Check throttle lever slot – Some Craftsman models have a plastic dash slot that can crack. If yours is broken, you’ll need to replace that part separately.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Craftsman 917, Husqvarna 7021P, or Poulan Pro with a broken throttle cable and want a direct, budget-friendly replacement. It’s not for universal fit or commercial mowers—stick with OEM for heavy-duty use. For the price, it’s a solid fix for a common failure.
