How to replace Traction Cable of Toro Lawn Mover Model 280001589

Hi

I have spend hour an hour but could not figure it out.

I have toro Lawn Mover Serial No: 20111 Model: 280001589

Traction cable has been broken, I have bought parts # 105-1845,
I did installation as per instruction, some its showing 1 inch long,
I compare with old cable, that is same size, not sure where I am missing.

I looked into RepairClinic website, found this link, its looks simple, but still not.

What is the problem? Cable to long, short? Take cover off and make adjustment while you can see pulley

The issue has been resolved, it is not basically pulley, it is cable it self,
The tricky part only when you tight cable from the handle, make sure it is straight from the handle

Grease lubrication on Husqvarna riding mower

S

SamAlex on Jun 03, 2016

I have a Husqvarna YTH24k48 riding mower. I've had it about 3 years but it only has 50 hrs on it. It still runs OK but lately it kind of squeaks when turning. I've never greased the wheels or anything so I think that might be the problem. Looking through the manual there is very little info on how to do this. There's one chart that shows to use "general purpose grease" on "spindle zerk", "front wheel bearing zerk", "steering sector gear teth ", and "mandrel zeros". Unfortunately there is no other info that I can find on how to grease these areas. It's simply a chart saying to use grease on those areas but there's no info on how to do it. I have a grease pump gun so I'm good there but I'm just not sure what parts need removed to access the areas I need to get to. I apologize if this is a common sense task but this is my first mower and I don't have anyone locally to ask. I've tried to google it but there's not as much info out there as you would think. Any ideas on how to lubricate this model of mower? Thank you.Read More
