Hustler 781583 OEM Brake Rod Assembly

The Hustler 781583 Brake Rod Assembly is a genuine OEM Hustler replacement brake linkage component used on select Hustler mower brake and parking brake systems. This part is listed as BRAKE ROD ASSEMBLY and may also be searched as a brake rod, parking brake rod, brake linkage rod, or brake control rod.

The brake rod assembly helps connect and operate the mower brake linkage where specified by the Hustler parts diagram.
