Replacing traction cable

There is a large black plastic nut at the end where the cable attaches to the mower transmission. Turning it clockwise tightens the cable (engaging traction bar is tighter) and counter-clockwise is loosening the drive. If the cable is a little too long, you have to tighten it more.

THE 1ST THING TO CHECK I BOTH SPEED CONTROL SENSORS LOCATED ON THE BACK SIDE OF YOUR WHEEL HUB...SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE CLEANED..TRUN WHEEL HARD RIGHT FOR RIGHT CABLE HARD LEFT FOR LEFT CABLE...PULL PIN OUT THEN CABLE VERY EASY TO REPLACE

ur blake light switch needs replaced I had same problem.

Its a bit of a pain - but with ordinary tools, it can be done. Get the replacement cable first. You can see how the bottom spring wraps around the cable with a universal joint sort of arrangement. Remove the belt protector (three screws from the top deck; if you have a battery compartment, that will temporarily need to go. Release the old cable from the top and middle attachment points, then unhook the spring from the traction lever. You might need to destroy the old cable lock to the mower deck to remove the old cable. Remove the plastic cup next to the cable where it exits the mower deck. Replace parts in this order: New spring/cable to the traction lever, snap in plastic interface to mower deck, small plastic cup top cable attachment, then middle attachment. You might need to move the middle attachment after you give it a test run. Replace belt cover and battery compartment if necessary. A lot of steps but, except for a difficult fit to get the spring hooked up, nothing is really difficult. I paid about $30 for the replacement cable from a local dealer; Overpriced, but I wanted to get the job done today.

Yes, it can be replaced. Normally, cables are attached to the handles and then to the engagement bar for traction near the belts. You may need to tip the unit on it's nose to remove access panel to expose mechanisms. Also the inspection cover over the belts in front of the engine may help identify the cable routing

Sounds like you may need to replace the pulley as well. It has likely worn out of specification.

I recommend that you contact your nearest authorized service center, or contact Toro directly for assistance.

I trust this information proves useful.

To adjust the self propel cable, loosen the cable
clamp, pull the cable downward to remove all the slack
then push the cable jacket up 1/8”
and secure with the cable clamp
