How hard is this to fix?

Snapped off inside the housing so I still have pretty much the entire cord intact except for maybe 6 inches.

It is a Toro that has the key start, but that started up a few times after I charged it up and then wont even turn over now....figures.

I was thinking just take the housing off and see where the rest of the cord is and just tie it back together until I can get a new one.

u cant just tie it back together u need replace it. fairly easy to do, if your going to be in this biz you should learn how to do it. i have a spool at the shop and i keep a length in the truck for on road repairs.

I am all about taking stuff apart and figuring it out myself, that is why I am asking.

It is a Toro 22 inch Recycler 6.5hp(about 3 yrs old). Can't find the model number on the mower where would it be?

105 3033 is the number on the handle right under the Toro label is that it?

Gonna have to get back to you on that one.

I have to go to home depot and get the tools to take the darn thing apart because the bolts ares so hard to get to for the housing to be removed.

They are in like 2 inch deep wells and my sockets wont reach down that far.
