  • I fix a $30 cable in 5minutes on a Toro Personal Pace mower.
    UPDATED VERSION OF THIS VIDEO: • Make New Cable ends
    HERE ARE THE PRODUCTS I USED
    60/40 rosin core solder: amzn.to/2skB9fN
    Paste Flux: amzn.to/2sukzs4
    TS8000 BLOW TORCH: amzn.to/2rxIMfS
    Some cables are expensive, some not so much. I recommend checking out Amazon's Huge Cable selection: amzn.to/2sk0V3C

    Making a mold from a stick and filling it with flux is pure handyman genius. Thanks.

    Way to get it done dude! I said here before your video and watched about 10 other guys knowing that they're always different techniques to do different things and I formulate my own out of those. Yours was the absolute fastest no bull crap get it done and get back to work video of all of them. Some of them get so specific with what to use and how to do it, and it is just the end of a cable on a lawn mower, not the space shuttle!

    Stumbled upon your video and decided to see what you were doing. When you put the flux on the WOOD, and then the solder, .. I thought 'wtf is this guy doing hahaha' ...then, once I realized you weren't putting another 'S' stopper on it, you sir, officially blown my mind. Great idea using the wood as somewhat of a 'forge casting' for the solder. Never WOODa thought of that ;)

    Very awesome, I had worked at a small engine repair shop a few years back and watch many people roll their eyes back when we would tell them a price of a new cable. Some model's had double cables, so if one failed you had to buy the set, plus labor. But all cable failure is due to friction or rot from lack of lubrication. If a piece of equipment is left outside or even in shed's due to humidity and temp fluctuations moisture will travel down the cables and pool causing damage. Honda's equipment engineer's took this into thought and have rubber grommets to protect the cables from moisture entry,yet recommend removal for access to lubrication. So spray with lube often and save the cables. Good job Sixty 5 !

    Dude you just completely blew my mind I am just completely mind blown right now I have a 80 CC 2 stroke motor mounted on my mountain bike and I just literally popped the end of what you just replaced on that lawnmower off the end of my throttle cable and I literally did something very similar to that I just basically freehanded it in midair I sat inside my vehicle and had something over my lap and basically held the wire put the flux on it and then basically slowly heated up the silver sautter and made it form little droplet and just starting for minute around the end of the wire I know it's not like the best idea but I didn't know what else to do and I was trying to get it fixed like now and it was the only thing I can think of and then I came across your video and Oh my God did you just gave me a helluva good idea you are awesome thank you so much

    Another great video! Wish I would have known about this years ago, bought several cables that were expensive and could have been repaired. Thank You for the great videos saving us time and money!

    I tried this 15 yrs ago and gave up. I learned the tricks to get this to work years ago and it has saved me $100s in cables. I have used the cable stops with the set screws with mixed results.

    Always amazes me to see these ingenuous do it yourself fixes and Save $. I've made several cable repairs, this one is new to me for this type of cable. I'll try this on my OEM enduro clutch cable that cost $30 repop.This country was built off of guys like us. Thanks for sharing

    That's bloody clever mate well done! I have just been searching Google to buy a mold and I found your video! Thankyou so much for sharing your ideas! Cheers mate top stuff!

    I have used those and the set screw cable stops. I have had mixed results with them especially if it is a hard to pull item. These quick solder jobs seam to be permanent. Thanks for commenting and watching.

    Went over to a buddy's house yesterday after watching this video. He had popped the ball end off the clutch cable on his Victory motorcycle. Those cables cost about a 100 bucks. We fixed it in one hour. Had to do it a few times. The key was, don't make the hole too big. Just a little hole does the trick. Worked like a charm! Thank you for the info.
