Can't you buy an aftermarket cable at a lawn mower repair shop and adapt it? I've done that with numerous machines. The hookup shouldn't be a mystery--maybe a clamp with a set screw, or the end bent into a hook shape, or a U-shape. You have to be resourceful to beat the prices of the repair suppliers, or shops.

Post the actual Sears model # .

By the model code it shows as Huqvarna- which essentially part of the family of EHP,AYP,Roper etc. I did not find your exact model # in the time I have today, so I thought that I would post if maybe someone else had the look up.

I did find a like model- is this the control # you have- 532178659 ? In my estimation, this seems different than the Toro. This Toro looks to me like it may be an MTD built model- which is different than Husq. Canguy may know.
It may be possible to repair it as rusty had suggested as well. I'll check back later or Monday.Good luck!

thanks tomplum have been looking thru the forums and u and canguy seem very knowledgable on the supject of snow blowers i could cobel up a cable if the machine was 20 years old but its only4/5years old and i'd prefer to keeb it as original. I dont think there is a control# on the tag but i will look. my other question for you guys is why dont they put braces on the auger gear boxes anymore almost all the older machines have them a few of the new large machines still have them i see. i had a mtd and went thru 2 of the cheap little gear boxes on that till i put a brace on it have you guys ever put a brace like this on and what is your opinion of this thanks again 4 yer help bb

ok found a part# on a husky diagram that will actually get me just the cable now got to check localy to see if it is available tysvm for the husky tip they are made by AYP anyway still interested in your opinion on the brace thanks again BB

I think that the longevity of a snow thrower gear box leans more toward to how well the box is constructed and how well the shafts stay supported.IE a person that operates his thrower with a worn impeller bearing contributes to bearing wear in the gear box. That contributes to wearing gears and loss of lube- and eventually failure. For an experiment you could have someone operate the thrower while observing the gear box on this unit. Does it seem stationary or does it wander around? One would hope that the auger shaft itself wouldn't tweak. Would bracing contribute to longer life? I dunno. It seems to have merit...

ty for your input in my opionion these boxes ie the mtd 1,s in particular are undersized due to planed obsolesence if they dont wear out they cant sell you a new 1 can they any way i tryed the husky # at sears they changed it up to a kit lol differnt # than the first kit but they showed me both kits and they r the same still wont sell me the cable seperate local husky dealer has the caple in its fast moving parts catalog will b here in 24 hrs go figger not the same part # that i found tho this can be really confusing anyway thanks again 4 all yer help got to go put a brace on the auger box its gonna snow again on wendsday they say regards BB

so i went to the shed and took the machine apart to look into puting a brace in then it got interesting the impeller had a really bad bend in it so i got pissed and quit till next day when i got a new impeller from sears($75) then proceeded to change that after i got that all out i figger i should check the gears in the gear box lo and behold there was a flat spot on the worm gear ($75) at husky dealer .ps not the same dealer who said he could get the cable i want cause he got me the wrong cable now i have to buy the whole darn assembly from the new husky dealer only $75 from them instead of $100 from sears im starting to see a pattern here and i still dont have the cabel that started the whole thing

Think spring!

Do what i did---sold all of the good ones, junked the rest, and now i only shovel the front walk, and to heck with the rest!
