Lawn Mower Brake Cable,139 6594 Brake Stop Cable Lawn Mower Throttle Controls Replacement for 21462 21464 Recycling Mower

What It Is

This brake stop cable connects the throttle control to the brake mechanism on select Recycling Mower models, engaging the brake when the throttle is released. It’s a direct replacement for worn or broken cables on 21462 and 21464 mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number: this cable fits only 21462 and 21464 Recycling Mowers (check the sticker under the seat or on the frame). Deck size doesn’t matter here—it’s a cable length and routing issue. This is an aftermarket part (OEM equivalent), not genuine OEM. Measure the overall length of your old cable (end to end) and compare to the 139 6594 spec (typically ~30 inches). Also verify the cable end fittings match your brake lever and throttle control—photos in the listing can help. If your mower is a different model, skip this.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Reviews are mixed (4.2/5, 6 ratings). Some users report it works fine, others note the cable is slightly shorter than OEM—check your routing path to avoid binding.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the old cable from the brake lever and throttle bracket, then route the new one through the same guides. A pair of pliers and a screwdriver are usually enough.
• Common gotcha: The cable housing may be a bit stiff out of the box. Work it back and forth a few times before installing to ensure smooth action.
• No adapter included: This cable is a direct replacement—no extra brackets or adjusters. If your mower has a different mounting style, you’ll need a different part.

Should You Buy It

If you have a 21462 or 21464 Recycling Mower and need a budget-friendly brake cable, this is a decent option. Just double-check the length and routing, and be prepared for a slightly snug fit. For a guaranteed OEM fit, pay more for the genuine part.
