- amzn.to/1Sha5lU Click on the link to order up the crimp sleeves they are super handy for working with bikes, lawnmowers, and garage doors. In this video I show you how to easly fix a lawnmower cable that has a broken end. It is not about saving $15 on a new cable it is about being able to use the mower while you wait for parts which can take several days. Disclaimer:

Hey, thanks. It was just the fix l was looking for. A trip to the hardware store and a couple bucks later, l was back mowing the lawn. Thanks again.
Thanks for this. I tried it and it worked. Looks like it might last a good while.
I used 3mm aluminium wire, also call 16 gauge I think. 1/16 inch would be 1.5 mm which would probably be too thin.
Also instead of crimping I used a 3mm duplex egg shaped screw clamp. That was a good decision as I had to adjust the length and was able to undo and redo them clamp.
Wow! This video is such a godsend. Not only will it save money, I get great satisfaction in learning to fix things myself. Thank you!
Thank you for all your videos God knows how much they have helped me. God bless you and your family.
Thank you much! I was about to go buy a new mower because the repair guy wanted $150+
Thank you for making this video. My cable broke today in the same spot and now I can repair it.
I think that looks pretty good! Personally I wouldn't waste time building that little tool because needle nose pliers work just as good. I stumbled upon those double ferrules at Home Depot yesterday. They want $1.50 for two of them so 50 for $4 is a steal.
Great information. Presented in a way a DIY with some know how, can get it done.
Hell yeah, quick, easy, and good explanation
Man You are the MAN I am glad I watched your video. You saved me a lot of time and money. Thank You
I like the tool for removing the cables
.......This is brilliant....that ferrule cable splicer is only $1.47 at Home Depot for 2.....You can buy a 2 ft. length of stainless steel 3/32 cable for 0.50 cents......that's it....back in business.....
Great fix! Much quicker and easier than soldering an end on it.
Thanks for the video. I plan to repair, instead of buying, the next lawn mower cable. It's just a matter of time.
Thanks! I am going to try it on my lawnmower!
Thank you.I have a platinum Sears pushmower with the ez drive system.The cable broke into.Went to order it and said the famous"obsolete"on the cable.I then noticed the cable with the ez handle assembly.Sears instead of offering just the drive cable they make you buy the whole handle assembly with cable.Instead of a 20.00 cable you have 60.00 plus shipping.F SEARS.They deserve to go out.Anyways thank you.I fixing it with ferrules from lowes and a new bike inner cable.
Great video dw6! I think there could be another way of doing this. I would use steel wire so its stronger than aluminum. I would then tack weld the crimp connector to both wires if you have a welder. That should hold a long time. Hope you don't burn thru the cable though.
+Love2boat92 Solder would work well.
doublewide6 That's another option.
Great tip, and that pipe tool is pretty handy. Thanks for the link to order crimp sleeves.
Thank you for this post. It is genius!
I like that idea !!
Tarril is a bad ass !!
Liked your channel a while back and a couple of months ago stumbled across Taryl Channel so great info
Thank you. I saved $8 by repairing my mower throttle cable,, instead of buying a new one.
Great fix! I subscribed!!! I stumbled on this while trying to ID or find a fix for a broken traction cable for a Brute mower with no model number. Ugh!
Got me a nice piece of copper pipe for that tool.
The grass rats , come up with great advice .
+Peter Froud Agree I learn a lot from Taryl. He is the man!
These cables are so expensive, I'm going to try and fix them when I get one that has a bad end - Thanks
Nice video I love TARYL he knows his stuff
You can just use a open end, or box end wrench to pop those cable clips off. That way you don't have to waste time making an additional tool.
Brilliant!! I especially like that homemade tool. Thanks!!
+A LeBlanc Thanks for watching. That tool comes in handy.
just use one of these (Rotary 14819 Z-Bend Wire Stop Cable)
Nice fix
Well done sir😊
And there's your.... Lunch....?.... LMAO great video and ideas ty.
Good job! Thx much. -saw-
Becomes a kill switch mower... or one that you have to start and pull the spark plug boot off while running ahaha.
Thanks from Bruce Pender
DW6 you are a trip bro. I sub'ed
Great video double wide 6
Magnific
Thank you Sir, very helpful this video
I need to fix my cable with your method but I need to know where I can get those clips you use? Thanks
On the engine side what can you do if one side of that bracket is broke off so the wire doesnt stay in place?
Good Info. Thank you for sharing as well as for the tool at the end of the video.
+Carmen Luna Thanks happy you found it helpful.
Sure did Brother! Keep on SHARING your knowledge. Some one IS watching!
Nice as usual. Thank you!
+Nathan Hilbig Thanks for the compliment.
great info, I'll have to try that, thanks!
+Alan Marshall Easier to buy a cable, but if your in a pinch it will work.
Nice little trick. I saw that pipe thing as well.
Cheers

+retrorestore Grass rats garage has some good videos. Got to get me a magnet for fishing.
+doublewide6 Look forward to your magnet fishing adventure, you gotta film it lol.
Cheers
Martin
Cable stops work very well also
Thanks man!!
Genius
awesome idea!
+knighthawk86855 Thanks hopefully it holds up for me.
thanks for the video
+Phil falzone sr Welcome happy you enjoyed it.
Hi can i ask , did you just flatten the copper pipe . Or use something as a guide.
One could of course snip off the z ends of old cables and utilise. The acquisition of cable joiners is the main problem
The union alone works also
nice. I'd be interested to know how long you can use that cable before the aluminum wire slips out.
+Josiah Hill Really long. Soldering it would have really made it bullet proof.
Maybe tell us where to get the union you referring to
Good shit bruh
I broke a Cub Cadet pto cable that operates off a lever. Any way to crimp or put 2 pieces of the same size cable in the video together?
Excelent
The plastic sheathing on my lawn mower throttle cable broke in the middle when I folded the handle for winter storage. The wire inside the cable is not broken; can you suggest how to splice the plastic sheathing back together so that the wire moves inside the sheathing. They want $50 plus shipping for a new replacement cable. Dave P.
Try this:
Pull the cable together at the break.
Put a hose clamp around the handle just above the break and a hose clamp just below the break.
Tighten the clamps just enough to hold them in place. If you tighten them too much you may squeeze the cable inside and restrict the movement.
Yes, it looks tacky, but it works.
What size/type of pliers are those?
hello,we are a amazon seller,we are selling a new product about Control Cable,but now we need a video link about it,can you provide it?Thanks
Were did the clamp come from
Dude thanks it take forever to order these parts from amazon weeks ,i will do this.
are the cables such a problem? i might get another rover then 26 years and never broke a cable. i think id have a spare in stock with new blades. i wouldn't repair one
Why aluminum wire? why not steel?
What size pipe?
What did you crimp the sleeve with? I could not see what the tool was.
his pliers have a crimp tool in the back,
That 'union thing', is called a ferrule loop.
my cable ends are ok, but the cable is rusted in the housing, and won't move.
V good😂
WOW, another 1986 Goatee, love it. LOL LOL Shave that mess off Charlie Manson.
Use a nail
Broke inside sheath from rust your technique won't work
r u showing how to do or trying to sell ur tolls
taryl is fuckin awesome thars yur dinner
Very good video thank you sir!
