I inherited an old Scotts Intex Edge self-propelled lawnmower, (though a Google search also turned up "Intek" in addition to Intex),) 6.5 HP OHV. The plate says S014255730423 and Code 9047M. The customer service number on the plate is for Briggs & Stratton, not the lawnmower itself. Everything works fine except the self-propelled mechanism, but I have no idea what that part is called. Let's call it the Drive Control Cable. It is NOT the cable control that controls the startup of the motor. I need the thingamajig that makes it self-propel--the replacement part. Does anyone know which manufacturer made this mower. I have been told it is either Husquavana, MTD Mfg. or Murry. The lawnmower replacement parts companies can't find the mower identification name or number.
Question 2: Does anyone know if a generic part would suffice instead of an OEM part? If so, what would I look for or can you attach a link?
