Original MTD Transmission Brake Cable (LH) — part number 746-04450 — a left-side transaxle brake cable replacement built to the original MTD specification. It’s a complete cable assembly with a protective outer jacket and inner steel control wire finished with factory-style end fittings for direct-fit installation on the brake/transmission lever and transaxle linkage.

Common fit examples include MTD walk‑behind models such as 12A-764M099 and 12A-764R299, Cub Cadet CC760ES series (12AE764N009 / 12AE764N010 / 12AE764N056) and equivalent Craftsman models like 247887330 — a straightforward direct-replacement when the original brake cable is frayed, stretched or broken. This original MTD item is one of the standard MTD parts you’ll see listed for these machines.

If your mower’s brake cable is preventing the transmission brake from holding or the lever feels loose, this 746-04450 cable restores factory routing and linkage engagement so the transmission brake operates as intended. For exact fit confirmation check your machine’s model number against the part references above before ordering.

Note: this is a genuine replacement intended for repairs — ideal when you need a reliable parts for power tools style component to get a mower back into safe, working condition.
