Quick Overview
Toro 161-0973 Traction Cable is an essential part that is used in snow blowers. It is the component that is used to engage the drive system of the snow blower. This cable is engaged when pulling the traction control lever and sends a signal to the drive mechanism of the snow blower to move on its own through the snow. The advantage is the ability to regain self-propelled function, which makes the removal of snowless laborious and time-consuming. It provides a secure grip, which means that will have better control, especially during the winter season.
