Norward 946-05098c Throttle Choke Cable — Cub Cadet XT1/XT2 Compatible Upgrade

Norward 946-05098c Throttle Choke Cable: Upgrade for Cub Cadet XT1 and XT2 Series

When your mower throttle cable wears or starts to feel stiff, the result is a less responsive throttle and more downtime. The Norward 946-05098c throttle choke cable is designed as a practical upgrade that replaces several part numbers, giving you a single, reliable option to keep your lawn mower ready for work. This cable balances durability with flexibility, making routine yard tasks feel a little more effortless and predictable.

Key details from the product notes include the ability to replace multiple part numbers such as 746-05098, 746-05098C, 746-05098B, 746-05098A, 946-05098, 946-05098A, and 946-05098b.
