How to adjust the drive cable on a Honda hrx217vla lawnmower with a smart drive to enable climbing a hill.

I'm an idiot. I had looked for the cable nut, but I was looking at the wrong cable, which didn't have the nut.

There is a metal connector about half way down the handle on the drive cable, that is your adjustment. Take 2 ten mm wrenches and loosen. Then twist connector apart to increase drive tension on belt. Play with it until the adjustment is where needed and then tighten.
