Traction Cable 115-8435 Compatible with Toro Recycler 22" Personal Pace Self Propelled Lawn Mower fits 20332 20333 20334 20337 20340 Toro Recycler 22in Self Propel Cable Replacement

What It Is

This is a replacement traction cable for Toro Recycler 22" self-propelled mowers with the Personal Pace system. It connects the drive handle to the transmission, letting you engage and control the mower’s self-propel speed.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: 22 inches only (not for 21" or 24" decks).
• Model numbers: Fits Toro Recycler models 20332, 20333, 20334, 20337, and 20340. Check your mower’s model tag (under the rear discharge door or on the frame) before ordering.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM Toro part (part #115-8435). Aftermarket cables may differ in length or end fitting shape—stick with this exact number.
• Measurements: Cable length is about 40 inches overall, with a 5-inch exposed wire section at the handle end. Measure your old cable from end to end to confirm.
• Not compatible with: Non-Personal Pace models, older Recyclers with different drive systems, or mowers with a fixed-speed drive.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate—requires removing the handle cover and disconnecting the spring clip. No special tools, but expect 20-30 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The cable can pop off the drive lever if the retaining clip isn’t fully seated. Push it on until you hear a click.
• Quality: OEM cable lasts 2-3 seasons under normal use. Aftermarket cables often fray at the handle end faster.
• Adjustment needed: After installation, you may need to tweak the cable tension using the threaded barrel adjuster near the handle to eliminate slack or binding.

Should You Buy It

If your Toro Recycler 22" Personal Pace mower’s self-propel is sluggish, won’t engage, or the cable is frayed or broken, this is the correct, drop-in replacement. It’s a direct OEM fit for the listed models and priced fairly for a part that restores full drive function. Skip it if you have a different deck size or a non-Personal Pace system.
