Husqvarna LC221RH drive cable PN

#1

Hello All,
The drive cable on my self-propelled mower snapped and I'm having trouble finding the part number for a replacement

It's a 2019 Husqvarna LC221RH with model number 961450032 00

The snapped cable has this PN embossed on the side: 589813204E 2758W

I found a parts list for "LC221RH, 96145003200, 2016-09" and it shows '587 42 11-02' as the replacement but the end that connects to the control handle is rather different and it doesn't fit in the handle chassis right (the screw part is wider and the nut that should sit in a slot so you can adjust the speed doesn't fit.)
I'm wondering if that is for 2009-->2016 models and the years are backwards to what I'd expect.

Searching for the snapped PN (589813204E) in google isn't much help.

Anyone know what I need to buy to get this thing back moving?

Thanks

And I come up with different PNs at Partstree. I checked with PartSmart system but model doesn't come up on their system.

Partstree indicating 587420001 which is a complete assy. And that PN is superseded to 589813201 per my latest price file update from RBI.

So it appears there a lot miss information out there on what is truly used on this mower.

That is what I got using my part lookup system using the 11 digit model number

I just wished all the parts people were on the same page. And it is a challenge to find correct IPLs as every vendor has different access to the what is out there.

Jacks and Husqvarna has one thing and then Partstree has another. Neither Gardner or RBI parts look-up even list the mower. Gardner don't show the part numbers I listed but RBI does and that is only in the latest price file. Wasn't even in last month's price file which is currently loaded.

And you think a Husqvarna distributor would access to all the parts but they don't. Oh that is just too convenient.

Enough to drive a procurement officer crazy...Now I got to spend up to an hour of converting a new file set (3 files) into one usable file later today.

@StarTech I have times where the OEM doesn't even have the IPL for their own products. Had push mower that I was needing a part for and the only IPL I could find was Canadian website in French. Had a new Poulan pusher a few years back that I had to call Husqvarna. The tech had to put me on hold while she jumped into the elevator to go to the basement to pull the build sheet to get the parts numbers. She was on the 5th floor and this was in July with a product built in March

I had a husky woth a smapped drive cable. Had to jump through some hoops to find the right one. First one i ordered was too short but looked just like the correct one. I forget which website parts list had the correct number for the cable. All other showed the wrong number.

Sound like the time I had to use a Russian IPL for a chainsaw, at least it was translatable at the time.

And it is nice that translation programs are available.

The OP had the right idea of searching the number on the cable and that works most times but not in this case for some reason.

Checked the Husqvarna dealer site and the original cable embossed number comes back to a cable, drive with no IPL's or other info linked to it. May be an internal factory build part number.

If we had length and end description ( barrel, s or eye) we might be able to find one.

P/N has superceded to a 589813201 appears to come with the control handles and a steel z bend. Appears it's a HOP part not used on Poulan.

587421102 is the cable I bought but it's different. There's a pic at https://i.postimg.cc/44DBgzYx/two-cables.jpg
The one on the bottom (with the cable intact) is the new one and you'll see that the screw part is wider. It's wide-enough that it doesn't sit nicely in the handle housing like the old one. The real problem I have with it though is that after connecting to the transmission and installing into the handle housing there's still a couple of inches of slack meaning that squeezing the handles doesn't have enough pull to engage the wheels/blade.
I'm a novice, so I may be way off here but I thought the only adjustment I had was the nut/bolt part and it's just not enough.

I'm tending to think Husq is going to make me buy the whole housing and then crossing my fingers that it's the right length.

Unfortunately, the old cable snapped so I don't know for sure how long it should be. Do they come in standard lengths because it probably snapped close to where it was connected. The other end has a ball on it that connects to a bit of metal I attached to the transmission.

Fit the new cable with the adjuster screwed as far back as it will go.
Pull the inner through and cut the drum off just past the end of the lever
Fit a new drum
Most motorcycle shop will have an assortment of them .
You tube is full of instructions on how to solder a cable end on.
I have a bird cage punch so when I come across a case like this I cut the cable end off & fit a clamp on drum ( also availible from motorcycle shop ) then move the clamp on fitting up the wire till the cable works as intended , then I cut the cable a fit floating drum in that position.
FWIW when you pull on a cable, the cable tries to twist because of the lay ( twist ) in the strands )
This twisting action is supposes to be accomodated by fitting a ball end to one end of the cable.
In practice this does not work and the regular twisting of the cable causes it to fail due to fatigue near where the drum ( or ball ) end is soldered on.
Putting a free rotating drum on the drum end means that the cable can rotate at both ends and usually will now last forever .
I have motorcycles that I made cables for over 50 years ago and they are still working fine .
Some Lanolin based cable lube or dry teflon lube ( pushbike shop ) will prevent rust and keep it going forever .
Never ever use WD 40 on cables.
