White Outdoor Starter

The recoil starter assembly starts the engine by using the grip to pull the rope, which activates the starter pulley and spring, causing the flywheel to rotate and start the engine. Over time, the starter spring can become stretched, causing the rope to seize up or fail to retract. The housing itself could also become damaged. It’s often easiest to replace the entire recoil starter assembly with this OEM model rather than individual components. The installation can be done quickly with a screwdriver and wrench by removing the three bolts that hold the assembly in place. This genuine OEM part is manufactured by MTD. It fits lawn mowers, tillers, log splitters, and other small engines made by MTD, as well as models from Bolens, Yard-Man, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Husky. This part includes the starter housing that protects the flywheel and other internal components, along with a starter pulley, spring, pull rope, and grip. The hardware required for this assembly is not included and must be purchased separately.

This replacement part is a ratchet. This is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. This part has ridges on the edges and is used to help certain parts rotate or turn in the proper direction. A new ratchet might be needed if the user hears unusual noises coming from inside the machine. This can be due to a ratchet being out of place or damaged. A ratchet could become worn down over time and might not be able to operate as smoothly as before. Work gloves are recommended during this repair as the part can be sharp and possibly dangerous. Be sure the engine is turned off before beginning this repair. This part is a genuine OEM replacement part to ensure proper fit. This ratchet is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This replacement part is a pinion drive. It is a genuine replacement part made by MTD. This part is typically found in chainsaws and helps the spinning and turning mechanism of the chain to operate properly while in use. A new pinion drive might be needed if the user notices that the chain in the chainsaw is not rotating properly. This can be due to a stripped pinion drive and the problem should be fixed once the part is replaced. It is common that this happens after years of normal wear and tear. Be sure to wear work gloves as the user will be working close to the blades in the chainsaw. Refer to the user manual for more detailed information on this part.
