Toro Traction Control Cable

This cable is designed specifically for Toro rear-wheel drive (RWD) models. To ensure a perfect match, check your mower's owner's manual or the sticker under the deck for the model number and verify it requires the 105-1844 part number.

This is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part from Toro. It is built to the exact specifications of the original cable that came with your machine, ensuring proper fit and performance.

You likely need a new cable if your mower's self-propel feature feels sluggish, engages inconsistently, or if the cable itself shows visible signs of fraying, stretching, or snapping. If you have to pull the drive lever all the way to the handle just to get the mower to move, the cable has likely stretched beyond its adjustment range.

Installation is generally straightforward and typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a wrench or pliers, to disconnect the old cable and secure the new one. Most homeowners can complete the swap in under 30 minutes.

If your mower isn't moving, a worn or broken traction cable is a very common culprit. However, if the cable is intact and tensioned correctly but the mower still won't drive, the issue might lie with the transmission or the drive belt rather than the cable itself.
