Cub Cadet 946-05087D PTO Handle Cable Assembly

The Cub Cadet 946-05087D PTO handle cable is a genuine OEM replacement component designed to actuate the power take-off (PTO) engagement mechanism on select lawn and garden tractors. It functions by pulling and pivoting the belt idler pulley to tighten the drive belt, thereby engaging the mower deck blades. The assembly consists of a steel inner wire enclosed in a protective polymer conduit with zinc-plated metal end fittings for corrosion resistance and secure attachment. This cable supersedes previous part numbers 946-05087, 946-05087A, 746-05087, 746-05087A, and 746-05087D. It is engineered to meet original equipment specifications for fit, routing, and actuation force without modification.
