What It Is

This is a 2-pack of replacement control cables (throttle and choke) for select MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman walk-behind mowers. It connects the engine’s carburetor to the handle controls, allowing you to adjust engine speed and engage the choke.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

  • Model numbers: Fits TB100, TB110, TB115, TB130, TB230, TB240, plus many MTD and Craftsman models with Briggs & Stratton engines (typically 450E, 500E, 550EX, 625EX).
  • OEM cross-reference: Replaces 946-04661, 946-04661A, 746-04661A, 746-04661.
  • Physical check: Cable length is about 42 inches (106 cm). Measure your old cable from end to end—if it’s within 1–2 inches, it should work.
  • Handle style: Works with standard T-handle and loop-handle mowers. Not for zero-turn or riding mowers.
  • Deck size: Typically fits 20–22 inch decks, but verify the cable routing path on your model.

Key Things to Know

  • Quality: Metal housing with plastic end fittings. Several reviews note the plastic choke lever may crack if over-tightened or forced.
  • Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires removing the old cable, threading the new one through the handle and along the deck, and reconnecting at the carburetor. Basic tools (screwdriver, pliers) needed.
  • Common gotcha: The cable end that attaches to the carburetor lever can be slightly larger than OEM. You may need to file the hole or use a zip tie to secure it.
  • 2-pack value: One cable is usually enough, but a spare is handy if you have two mowers or a backup for future wear.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly, functional replacement for a worn or broken throttle/choke cable on a common Troy-Bilt or MTD walk-behind mower. It’s not as durable as OEM (plastic parts vs. metal), but it’s a solid fix for the price—just expect to do minor adjustments or filing during installation.
