Our review of the 51 in throttle choke cable finds it is a practical, low-friction replacement for owners of Cub Cadet, Craftsman and MTD zero-turn and riding mowers. The single biggest reason to buy is straightforward: it matches OEM part numbers 746P06891 and 746-06891 and offers a direct-fit 51 in length for a long list of models, so you can get your mower back to working order quickly. Installation is simple with basic tools, and the cable's construction aims to meet or exceed original equipment standards.
Key Features
- OEM compatibility: Direct replacement for parts labeled 746P06891 and 746-06891 so buyers can expect correct fit on listed models.
- Exact length: The 51 in cable length is matched to the specified Cub Cadet and related mower models for correct routing and tension.
- Durable materials: Constructed from a high quality synthetic material selected after testing to resist aging and repeated movement.
- Easy installation: Designed to be installed or removed with simple tools and basic mechanical ability, saving time in the workshop.

Who It's For
This cable is best for home owners and small property maintenance operators who own compatible Cub Cadet, Craftsman or MTD mowers listed in the product details and who need a like-for-like throttle or choke cable replacement. It is well suited to someone who values a part that matches OEM numbers so they can avoid complex returns or modifications.
It is not the best choice for buyers seeking a heavy-duty, commercial-grade upgrade; some users reported short-term durability concerns, so operators who need a cable for continuous, high-hour commercial use should consider an aftermarket industrial-grade assembly or reinforced cable instead.
