Need Help with Cables on Honda HR215 SMA

I need a diagram with the positioning of the Blade Control Cable.  The blade clutch cable is also broken buy I know where that terminates I just can’t find where the Blade Control Cable terminates. I hope I am making sense.

If someone can point me to a service manual that may be helpful. The user manual was useless.

I completed the install of the cable I used both hands my foot and 20 srewdrivers. What was Honda thinking. I would love to get my hands on some of those designers and force them to replace the Drive clutch cable. I used OEM Honda cables hope these will last as long as the orginals by then the mower will be 40 years old

   No wonder you had such a hard time.  Using those tools is the wrong way to go.  Growing a second index finger makes it a snap.

   The other cable is a dilly also but easier after you do it a few times.  I forget the detail but I either snuck my hand through the grass bag area to the spring and catch nut or went from underneath.  I forget.  Nice mowers though and worth the hassle.
