What It Is

This is an upgraded anti-stretch throttle/choke cable (51 inches) designed to replace the OEM Cub Cadet 746-06891 part. It controls both engine speed (throttle) and fuel mixture (choke) on select Cub Cadet zero-turn mowers and farm trucks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model and deck size. This cable fits Cub Cadet ZT1-42/46/50/54, ZTS2-50/54/60, ZTS1-42/46/50, and ZT2-60 KH FAB models. It also works on some Farm Truck vehicles with compatible Kohler (KH) engines. Measure your old cable length—it must be exactly 51 inches from end to end. Check that the cable ends (tiller-style fittings) match your throttle/choke lever and carburetor linkage. This is an aftermarket replacement for OEM part 746-06891, not a genuine Cub Cadet part.

Key Things to Know

  • Anti-stretch design: The upgraded cable jacket is reinforced to resist stretching over time, which prevents throttle/choke slack and improves response.
  • Easy installation: Typically a 15–30 minute job requiring basic tools (pliers, screwdriver). No special skills needed, but take photos of the old routing before removal.
  • Common gotcha: Ensure the cable housing ends seat fully in the bracket slots—partial seating causes poor throttle/choke operation. Also verify the choke wire moves freely before final tightening.
  • Quality note: At $16.44, this is a budget-friendly alternative to OEM. Reviews average 4.6/5, but a few users report slightly stiffer action than stock.

Should You Buy It

If you own one of the listed Cub Cadet ZT1/ZTS/ZT2 models and need a reliable, affordable replacement for a worn or stretched throttle/choke cable, this is a solid choice. It’s especially good if you want anti-stretch durability without paying OEM prices. Skip it if you prefer genuine Cub Cadet parts or need a different cable length.
