587421102 Drive Cable Compatible with Husqvarna L421P LC121FH LC221A LC221AH LC221FH LC221FHE LC221R Pou-LAN P160RWD PR675AWD Redmax CWP21 21 inch Lawn Mower Parts

What It Is

This is a replacement drive cable for select Husqvarna, Pou-LAN, and Redmax 21-inch walk-behind mowers. It connects the drive control handle to the transmission, engaging the self-propel function when squeezed.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number (on the deck or frame tag). This cable fits Husqvarna L421P, LC121FH, LC221A, LC221AH, LC221FH, LC221FHE, LC221R, Pou-LAN P160RWD, PR675AWD, and Redmax CWP21—all 21-inch decks. It is an aftermarket replacement, not OEM Husqvarna. Measure your existing cable length (typically ~30 inches) and compare to the listing; check that the end fittings (L-shaped or straight) match your transmission and handle. If your mower has a different deck size or brand, it likely won’t work.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: With a 3.4/5 rating from only 3 reviews, build quality is uncertain. Some users report the outer sheath kinking or the cable stretching faster than OEM.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires removing the handlebar cover, disconnecting the old cable from the handle and transmission, and routing the new one. Have a screwdriver and pliers handy.
• Common gotcha: The cable may be slightly too long or short for some models, causing slack in the self-propel engagement. Test the tension fully before reassembling—you may need to adjust the cable barrel at the handle.
• No OEM fit guarantee: Unlike a genuine Husqvarna part, this may require minor bending of the mounting bracket or cable end to seat correctly.

Should You Buy It

This cable is a budget option if you need a quick replacement for an older or less-used mower and can tolerate some installation fiddling. But for consistent, hassle-free performance on a primary mower, spend a few dollars more for an OEM Husqvarna part (e.g., 587421102) that will fit exactly and last longer.
