Anyone repair their own control cables? I had one seize up on my push mower. Even though it was plastic coated it had rusted tight in one spot and the cable inside frayed beyond use. I didn't have time to try and repair it so I ordered a whole new cable. $14 and some change seemed like a lot for what it is. This is technically called a brake cable, for this application, and only has to pull against a spring loaded lever. I thought about trying to use a wire, in place of the cable, but wasn't sure if that would work.
