Couple of problems.. I've managed to snag the top end of the mower deck control cable and it's snapped. Also the propulsion drive takes a bit forward movement before it kicks in, which I assume is a worn out belt.

This has happened at the worst time of year to get it professionally serviced so I'm trying to work out if I can replace these myself. Can't find a service manual online anywhere.

Anyone have any suggestions? I know these are essentially rebadged Kaaz / Denarm / Lawnflite / Honda mowers but I'm not sure of the equivalent model numbers.

I'm done oil change / air filter / blade service stuff but not sure if these are within the expertise level of a non-pro!

Any help much appreciated
