Overview

The IDEASURE 055-8020-00 throttle control cable is a purpose-built replacement designed to drop into your mower or tractor without the need for major modifications. It covers part numbers 055-8020-00, 055802000, and 290-100, making it a convenient option when you refresh a worn control line. With a 53-inch cable length and a 50-inch conduit, this unit is sized to fit a wide range of machines and configurations, so you can plan a swap during routine maintenance or a seasonal service.

Wide compatibility

The 055-8020-00 cable is listed as compatible with a broad set of models, including Maverick, Maverick HD, MZ, MZ Magnum, MZ Rambler, Raider, ZT Avenger, ZT Elite, CZT Elite, CZT, ZT, Walk Behind, and Compact Outlaw. This breadth helps reduce the guesswork when you compare replacement parts and can simplify inventory decisions for shop owners or home repair enthusiasts.

Durable, reliable materials

Designed to endure demanding mowing conditions, the throttle cable uses premium steel and rubber. The insulated outer layer helps minimize wear from friction and exposure to the elements, supporting a stable feel under use and a longer service life compared with lower-cost options. The construction also contributes to resistance against rust and corrosion in typical outdoor environments.

Performance and operation

Users may notice a smoother throttle action thanks to the cable's tensile properties and careful assembly. The 53-inch length and robust conduit are arranged to reduce the risk of sticking or delay, so the throttle responds with a consistent, predictable motion when you reach for speed control in the heat of summer yard work.
