Troy-Bilt Lawn Mower Model 11A-B2RQ711 S/N 1D117K02798
has Honda engine and engine cover states TB130 XP
My neighbor gave me this mower, as he hadn't used it in years as he's replaced his grass with rocks. I added gas, cleaned the air filter, started it up and it runs good. However, he rigged up a home-engineered safety control cable, which does work. I tried to look up part number and got quite confused about the control cable part number.

Basically, the Troy-Bilt site seems to state 946-04670 (or 946-04670A) for the cable, and I also see 946-04661A, so I'm really confused. The 946-04670A seems to be 3 times as expensive as the 946-04661A, and I hate having to get wrong part and do returns....thanks.

PartSmart say use 946-04661A for both the 2017 and 2018 models.

But here is the two cable specs

946-04670(A) Housing 36.65 Cable 50.3
946-04661(A) Housing 37.58 Cable 51.0

Basically the 04670 cable is 13.65 longer than the housing and the 04661 cable is 13.42 longer than the housing.
Both cables has Z bends on both ends. And cable mounts are the same on both cables.

From the MTD official dealer site it appears that the 946-04670(A)(B) wasn't used on any models post 2013

I can't even find a 946-04170 part listed so what are the specs for it? So I can setup a SKU record here for it.

I mistyped. It should of be 946-04670. I have corrected my previous post

Thank you StarTech for the answer and clarification.

I had downloaded PDF document MTD Form No. 769-05383 (May 13, 2010); shows on pp. 40-41 part 34, as 946-04670 (pages 2 and 3 on the truncated file I've attached).

You got realize that you have a 2017 mower in front of you so a 2010 IPL is no good; unless, it is a 2007 model. But what 1 am finding none was built in 2007 with exact model number you posted.

No, I didn't know it was a 2017 model, it was given to me by a neighbor; but now I do ! Thanks.
