oliver2-44 10,689 #1 Posted June 29 This starter was in a large box of parts I got from a member by Pony Express from the Big Show. I'm guess its for a vertical shaft engine! Ok experts out there, what does it fit? If someone needs/can use it, let me know. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,735 #2 Posted June 29 I think a push mower. I've seen that style on a few. You pull straight up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill D 2,246 #9 Posted June 30 3.5 -5 HP Briggs vertical shaft engine. I used to have a couple on old Snapper walk behind mowers. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelhorseguyKC 1 #10 Posted July 1 (edited) 3.5HP on push mower. Snappers, MTDs, etc all used it. Not aware of any 5hp with vertical pull. Probably due to the plastic hear not being able handle the extra stress. Rewound hundreds in my your days working on them.

Even on the side pulls, up until the blade brakes came in, I made a habit of bracing my foot against the mower shell when pull starting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
