Funhoon Control Cable GY22387 78 INCH for John Deere D100 D105 D110 D120 D125 D130 E100 E110 E120 L100 L105 L107 L110 L118 X105 X125 PTO Control Cable Riding Lawn Mowers

What It Is

The Funhoon GY22387 is a 78-inch PTO (Power Take-Off) control cable designed to engage and disengage the mower deck blades on select John Deere riding lawn mowers. It replaces the OEM part GY22387 and is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for models with a cable-actuated electric PTO clutch.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Model list: Fits John Deere D100, D105, D110, D120, D125, D130, E100, E110, E120, L100, L105, L107, L110, L118, X105, X125. Does not fit X300 series or newer models with different cable routing.
• Deck size: Works with 42-inch, 48-inch, and 54-inch decks on these models. Cable length is 78 inches—measure your old cable from end to end to confirm.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a non-OEM replacement. It matches the original GY22387 in length and connector style but may have slightly different plastic end fittings. Check that your PTO switch connector matches (usually a 2-pin flat plug).
• Mounting: Uses the same bracket holes and cable routing as OEM. Verify your mower has a cable-actuated PTO (not a manual lever or electric switch-only system).

Key Things to Know

• Quality is acceptable for the price. The cable jacket and ends are durable enough for residential use. Some users report the plastic adjuster nut is less robust than OEM—handle it gently during installation.
• Installation is moderate difficulty (30-60 minutes). You’ll need to remove the dash panel, route the cable along the frame, and adjust tension at the PTO clutch arm. A pair of pliers and a 10mm wrench are usually all you need.
• Common gotcha: The cable may be slightly too long or short if your mower has a non-standard deck lift or aftermarket PTO clutch. Measure your old cable before ordering. If it’s not exactly 78 inches, this won’t fit.
• Lubrication helps. The cable can feel stiff out of the box. Apply a light spray lubricant (e.g., WD-40 or silicone spray) inside the sheath before installation for smoother operation.

Should You Buy It

If you own one of the listed John Deere models and need a budget-friendly replacement for a worn or broken PTO cable, this is a solid choice. It works reliably for residential mowing and saves about 40% versus OEM. Avoid it if you need a perfect OEM match for a commercial or heavy-use mower, or if your cable routing is unusual—OEM is safer in those cases.
