Murray Drive Cables
Start by checking your Murray model number or the part number printed on the old cable so you can match the correct drive cable for your machine. If the drive will not engage or only bites part way, the cable may need replacing. Garden Tractor Spares lists genuine and OEM Murray drive cables to help you choose accurately, especially when lever adjustment has already been taken up and the original cable has stretched.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm it's the drive cable I need?
A drive cable is the control that engages the self-propel drive. If your machine no longer drives properly, only takes up drive partway, or the control feels slack, this is the right area to check first.
Why has my self-propel stopped pulling properly?
Start by checking the adjustment at the lever end, as that is usually where take-up is set. If the drive still will not engage fully once that adjustment has been used up, the cable has stretched and replacing it is the proper fix.
What should the cable adjustment do?
The adjustment should let the self-propel drive engage fully when you operate the control. If you cannot achieve full engagement and the lever still feels loose, the cable has reached the point where replacement is needed.
