This is a new control cable that fits some MTD-built mowers. It has been curled up in storage for a long time and the sheath may need to be wire-tied to the handle to stay straight. The cable is very flexible so it should be functional. Please evaluate the pictures carefully before you buy. Note: All items shipped to an Ohio address or picked up at our location are subject to Ohio sales tax. For your information, a handling charge is included in the above shipping cost.
