Part # MC0413406-8
FAA-PMA approved for many Cessna 150/152 aircraft
Stronger, lasts longer, and less prone to cracking or failure
Both LH and RH doors use the same drawbar part number, P/N MC0413406-8.
Why is ours better?
The McFarlane drawbar was uniquely designed to combat the common failure points of the OEM replacement, including broken loop ends or cracking. Both failures result in an inoperable door handle, requiring replacement of your drawbar. Our design incorporates several improvements, including its material, shape, and added washer. The OEM drawbar is made of aluminum, compared to our stronger stainless steel material that is less prone to cracking or failure, resulting in a longer lifespan. We also redesigned the shape of our drawbar that prevents popping on the door handle during operation, which creates a wear spot and bends the drawbar (resulting in failure). Lastly, we added a unique spacer for an improved fit and less noise during use!

What does a Cessna 150/152 door handle drawbar do?
The door handle drawbar (also called a draw bar or door linkage rod) connects the inside door handle to the door latch mechanism. When the handle is pulled, the drawbar activates the latch so the door opens. If the drawbar fails, the inside door handle will not open the door.
What are common signs of a broken drawbar in a Cessna 150 or 152?
Common symptoms include the inside door handle not working, the door not opening from the inside, or the handle pulling with no resistance. Mechanics may also find a cracked drawbar, broken loop end, or worn door linkage rod during inspection.
Why does the Cessna door drawbar fail so often?
The OEM Cessna drawbar (P/N 0413406-3 and 0413406-8) is made from aluminum and is prone to cracking, bending, or breaking, especially at the loop end. Wear from repeated door operation and poor fit can also lead to premature failure.
What happens if the door drawbar breaks in flight or on the ground?
If the drawbar breaks, the inside door handle will not open the door. This can create operational inconvenience and potential safety concerns, especially during emergency situations.
What OEM part numbers does this replace?
This FAA-PMA drawbar replaces OEM Cessna part numbers 0413406-3 and 0413406-8, commonly referenced in IPCs and maintenance searches.
What makes the McFarlane Cessna door drawbar better than OEM?
This improved drawbar is made from stainless steel instead of aluminum for greater strength and longer service life. The redesigned shape eliminates common bending and cracking points, and a spacer washer improves fit, reduces looseness, and minimizes noise during operation.
Will this fix a Cessna door that won’t open from the inside?
In many cases, yes. If the issue is caused by a failed or worn drawbar, replacing it will restore proper operation of the inside door handle and latch.
Can I fabricate my own Cessna door drawbar?
While some attempt to fabricate a replacement, improper materials or geometry can lead to early failure. An FAA-PMA approved drawbar ensures proper fit, durability, and long-term reliability.
Will replacing the drawbar improve a loose or sloppy door handle?
Yes, if the looseness is caused by wear or deformation of the drawbar, replacing it with an improved stainless steel design will tighten up the door handle feel and restore proper function.
What should I check if my Cessna door latch is not engaging properly?
Inspect the drawbar, door latch mechanism, and linkage rod for cracks, bending, or wear. A failed drawbar is one of the most common causes of a Cessna 150/152 door not opening or latching correctly.
