Free article Scott! Thank you so much for sharing. My parents have the exact same riding mower and it appears that it needs that cable replaced. So now thanks to your article I can order a cable and I feel confident I’ll be able to install it correctly after following your article. Thank you sir and have a great day. God bless you 🙏👍🇺🇲
Great article. I have the YTH22V46 – essentially they are all the same, but my gas tank sat behind the steering wheel and I had to remove it to get to the upper spring assembly. The lower spring assembly was able to remove with the deck all the way down. Thanks for the thorough explanation of removing those darn clips!
just purchased a used Husky YTH22V42. The cable on it is attached to a L shaped bracket with a slot on the bottom to adjust the length. This one was all the way tight and the handle to engage it was very hard to swing all the way over. The slot allows about 1.5 inches to allow for length adjustment. Can I adjust it a little longer to allow the handle to work easier? Is there a “proper” adjustment? Thanks for your help.
I did exactly that on my YTH20K42 and now it won’t start because the lever isn’t engaging or disengaging the safety switch and I never was close to it. I can’t get the gas tank off because the engine is too big and I can’t get the lever off because my fingers aren’t strong enough. So what is the going rate to repair the mower?
