Key specs and build

Built from a metal wire core with a rubberized cover for everyday durability, the cable features a Z-bend end on one side and a spring end on the other. It measures a 39" conduit length and a 56" inner wire length, giving you reliable reach across typical deck setups.

  • Z-bend end provides secure mounting and precise alignment.
  • Spring end enables responsive engagement with the deck lever.
  • Rugged rubber cover and stainless steel components resist wear and weather exposure.

Why it matters

With targeted control over deck engagement, you can more easily switch between cutting and non-cutting modes. The durable construction reduces the likelihood of frequent replacements, making it a practical option for mower maintenance and upkeep.
