Tonytoro416 1,275 #1 Posted October 6 Anyone have any recommendations for throttle and choke replacement cables for my 953 restoration? I don’t mind paying for good quality ones. Let me know thanks as always Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 29,804 #2 Posted October 6 When I did mine, I made new cables from my bulk stock that I have. One source for example - https://www.mfgsupply.com/mower/mowerthrottle/mowerthrottleu.html You can also buy a cable that is too long from a local source and cut to fit. The ends by the levers can be opened up to remove the old cable, pinch back closed when new cable is installed. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonytoro416 1,275 #3 Posted October 12 My issue is original cables including the levers are gone so I’m kinda starting from scratch 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 62,143 #4 Posted October 12 I guess you could improvise a bit and make up an a pair of adaptor plates to use an off the shelf unit like this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 44,603 #5 Posted October 14 I would see if A-Z has a set. Then add new cable stock if need be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 6,056 #7 Posted October 17 (edited) Try http://www.psep.biz/store/toro_mower_cables.htm. They look original. Take your time . Look on eBay I bought a bunch of them from there over the years. Edited October 17 by Retired Wrencher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,452 #8 Posted October 17 @Tonytoro416 as you set up anything , verify every stage , also like super lube hydraulic oil , should have no stiffer / binding spot , anywhere . thats what , led me to a spring pull to close assist . always enhancing cable movement . lets you add or reduce , setting very smoothly / easily . experiment to verify , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
