Hi. My 38" Bolens... I installed a new blade engagement cable...When I engage the blades with the lever, its obvious that I am not getting enough tension (springing action) for the blade brake to disengage. Did I buy the wrong part? Is there a diferent able that is 1" shorter that gives me more spring?

The part I bought off Amazon was this:

Deck Engagement Cable fits Yard Machines MTD Bolens Yard Man Replaces 946-04173D 746-04173 946-04173C 946-04173B 746-04173B and 746-04173A​

Thanks. I had originally posted in a different forum, but didn't get more than 1 reply..

Post model & serial numbers from your tractor under seat possibly.

Also if you look at the hole to the lower left it has wear marks and should be where the cable spring goes.
