Watching a number of these broken cable videos lead me to believe these are fatigue failures. Many flexes cause the cable to crack. Solution: engage the cable only once per day. If you come to a place where you would stop the blades from turning (loose rocks, etc.), just leave them turn and raise the deck to clear instead.
Curious if you got this fixed within 4 months but, I noticed on mine I have two bars on the deck that sway during engagement. I wonder if your spring could be attached to the wrong bar?
Best Video showing how to replace this PTO cable.
Great video. Very instructive very straightforward. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment!

Good analysis and thanks for the insight!
Thank you for this. I have a Murray and it broke on me in the middle of my mow >.
Thanks for the comment! So glad the video was useful for you!
I paid 50 bucks with tax in TN. Thanks for making the vid. mine has a rubber boot that will not go through that hole very well.
Thanks for the comment
Mine has a problem of being engaged in the off position and disengaged in the on position

What if the Bronco's engagement lever is on the left side of the dash next to the steering wheel?
Mine has tension but down where the aping is it vey slack and doesn’t pull the aping well enough. Is there a way to tighten it?
No, I don’t think you can tighten it. It sounds like you have the wrong part, or something isn’t connected right. Good luck!
Thanks I just ordered my parts
Ok- good luck with the rest of the replacement!
Where did you find your parts? I'm looking up M115-38 blade engagement cable and having little luck since Murray went out of business.
