What It Is

This is a replacement positive battery cable (OEM AM115359) for riding lawn mowers and garden tractors, connecting the battery to the starter solenoid. It’s designed for John Deere Sabre, LX, GT, and G series models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s exact model and serial number. This cable fits John Deere Sabre LX172, LX173, LX176, LX178, LX186, LX188, GT242, GT262, GT275, and G100 series. It also fits many older GT and LX tractors with a 12V battery system.

Measure your existing cable length—this replacement is roughly 12 inches (30 cm) from terminal to terminal. Check the terminal types: one end has a round battery post clamp (positive, red), the other a ring terminal for the solenoid. Verify your solenoid stud size (typically 1/4 inch or 5/16 inch). If your mower has a different cable routing or longer path, this may not reach.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made with 6-gauge copper wire and PVC insulation—same gauge as OEM, good for standard starting loads.
• Installation: Easy for DIY—disconnect negative battery terminal first, swap cable, reconnect. No special tools beyond a wrench or socket set.
• Fitment note: Some GT models (e.g., GT262) may require minor rerouting if the original cable was longer. Check clearance near the engine or frame.
• Rating context: Only 1 review, so long-term durability is unproven, but the price is competitive with OEM ($30–$40).

Should You Buy It

If your original AM115359 cable is corroded, frayed, or broken, this is a solid, affordable drop-in replacement for most listed John Deere tractors. It’s best for DIYers with basic mechanical skills. Skip it if your mower has a non-standard battery location or requires a longer cable—measure first to avoid a return.
