seven 202 #1 Posted October 2, 2017 I just purchased a recoil cup off of eBay and it doesn't fit into the recoil that I have currently so either I have the wrong recoil cup or the wrong recoil can somebody please tell me what the inside diameter of the recoil cup should be the one I got off of eBay is 2 and 1/4 inch inside diameter.. and a recoil that I had laying here I'm not sure if it was the right one for this tractor but that measures 2 and 3/8 inch outside diameter on the cogs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,805 #2 Posted October 2, 2017 It might help if you post some pictures of both. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,199 #3 Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) At that time Kohler did not make their own recoil, so the K91 could have 1 of three different recoils. You could have a Schnacke, Tecumseh, or a Fairbanks recoil. Each company used their own style of cup. Edited October 2, 2017 by Achto 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seven 202 #5 Posted October 2, 2017 Sounds like I need to find the correct cup for my recoil or visa versa? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,199 #6 Posted October 2, 2017 If you can post a picture of your recoil I can tell you which one you have. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seven 202 #7 Posted October 3, 2017 Sorry I'm not able to send pictures anyway I'm either going to redo the one I have or just build one from scratch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,199 #8 Posted October 3, 2017 This may help you out . This is what a Schnacke recoil looks like. These are more rare & usually bring big bucks when you can find them. A Tecumseh recoil will have a stamped steel body but will look nothing like the Schnacke. A Fairbanks recoil will have a cast aluminum body. Hope this helps you ID what you have, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,805 #9 Posted October 3, 2017 And this may add a bit more confusion to the mix. These are K91's as well. Both are Fairbanks-Morse starters. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,199 #10 Posted October 3, 2017 Thanks for the schooling Bob! I was unaware the Fairbanks Morris made a stamped steel body recoil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
