Kimsion 105-1844 Traction Control Cable for Toro Recycler 22'' Personal Pace Self-Propelled Lawn Mowers 20017, 20031, 20032, 20041, 20066, 20067, 20074, Replacement Toro Recycler 22 Drive Cable

What It Is

The Kimsion 105-1844 Traction Control Cable is a direct replacement drive cable for Toro Recycler 22-inch Personal Pace self-propelled mowers. It engages and disengages the rear-wheel drive system, letting you control forward motion with the handlebar lever.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number (on the rear or under the seat). This cable fits Toro Recycler 22-inch models 20017, 20031, 20032, 20041, 20066, 20067, and 20074. It is an aftermarket replacement for OEM part 105-1844. Measure your old cable’s overall length (roughly 32 inches) and end fitting style – the Kimsion uses a barrel end at the handle and a threaded adjuster at the transmission. It will not fit 21-inch or 26-inch decks, or non-Personal Pace models.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: Users report it’s functionally identical to the Toro OEM cable at a lower price, but the plastic adjuster nut may be slightly less durable.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – typically 15–30 minutes. You’ll need a 10mm wrench and pliers. Route the cable along the handlebar, attach the barrel end, and thread the adjuster into the transmission bracket.
• Common gotcha: The cable can bind if not routed exactly as the original – take a photo before removing the old one. Also, check that the rubber boot at the transmission end seals fully to keep out debris.
• Adjustment: After install, set the adjuster so the lever has about 1/8 inch of free play before engaging the drive. Too tight causes constant engagement; too loose means no drive.

Should You Buy It

If your Toro Recycler 22 Personal Pace drive cable is stretched, frayed, or snapped, this is a solid, budget-friendly fix. It fits the listed models perfectly, installs easily, and restores self-propel function. Skip it if you prefer OEM parts for warranty or maximum longevity, or if your mower is a non-Recycler or different deck size.
