Makita DA00000977 — Driving Cord Assembly (drive/Bowden cable)

Keep your self‑propelled Makita lawn mower moving. This original Makita driving cord assembly (DA00000977) is the complete Bowden‑style drive cable used to transmit power from the transmission to the wheel drive on PLM series mowers. It’s a direct replacement designed to restore wheel engagement and eliminate slipping or loss of drive caused by a stretched or frayed cable.

Key details:

- Part number: DA00000977 — driving cord / Bowden cable assembly for wheel drive.

- Fits Makita models (common list): PLM4611, PLM4612, PLM4621, PLM4621N, PLM4622, PLM4622N, PLM4622N2, PLM5102, PLM5113, PLM5113N, PLM5113N2 (also used on compatible Dolmar models). Confirm compatibility with your model’s type plate before ordering.

- Connectors and construction: Bowden cable with S‑shaped operator‑side end and a stepped cylindrical roller at the gearbox/wheel end — supplied as a pre‑assembled driving cord ready to fit the gearbox and control lever without modification.

Why this part matters:

- Replaces worn/stretching drive cable that causes intermittent or no self‑propel — restoring consistent engagement of the drive gearbox and predictable mower movement.

- Built to Makita’s original specification for fit and function, so mounting points and end fittings match the factory hardware.

Sold as a single complete assembly — ideal for quick field repairs or scheduled maintenance when the mower’s self‑propel performance has degraded.

(If you have a different model number on your mower’s type plate, use that to confirm compatibility — this DA00000977 is intended for the PLM/Dolmar model families listed above.)
