Overview

The YGQ 746-0970 Deck Lift Blade Brake Cable is a dependable, OEM-style replacement designed to restore precise lift and blade engagement on compatible lawn tractors.

Why choose this cable

Engineered to mirror OEM quality, the YGQ 746-0970 is built to withstand routine mowing duties. The twin-eyelet design helps distribute load across the deck lift mechanism, potentially improving responsiveness when you raise or lower the deck mid-task. The package includes two blade brake cables, offering a ready replacement option when wear or stretching affects performance.
