Hitachi 6696572 Recoil Starter Body Assembly

Worked as a good replacement for mine that broke on tcgea27 tanaka machine

Tried it out but did not work ,gave all info on my machine this bolted on but did not work !

The 2 star is for the product description. The product appeared to be fine and sturdy, but says it will fit my blower, but never caught the starter.

Should have read the reviews. I dont know why something so simple could be so wrong. Its not even close to fitting the Hitachi lower. The bolts line up but thats where they compatibility ends.

Everything fit good,hope this time the rope last longer than new one

perfect, solved my problem. First tried replacing just the cord....what a waste of time. This was as easy as 1 2 3

Even though I did my research and looked at the diagram of parts, this recoil starter did not fit my leaf blower.

Does not work on the advertised blower and they want you to pay shipping to send it back.

How to determine if it is the right part ... From Hitachi Customer Service: When looking at the serial # on the tool the first digit indicates the month and the 2nd # indicates the year. If the 1st letter is an O N or D this indicates it is October November or December. If there is any other letter present it represents the factory where the tool was manufactured and should be ignored. I have attached the tool serial # format as well as the parts breakdown. If you look on the parts break down at # 60, 79 or 81. Item 60 includes 61-66 and they are for tools manufactured up till July 2014 60 6696572 RECOIL STARTER BODY ASSY INCLUD.61-66 TILL 7.2014 Item 79 includes 80 and 81 which also include 82-88 and are for tools manufactured since Aug 2014 79 6600408 RECOIL STARTER ASSY 1 INCLUD.80.81 80 6600407 STARTER PULLEY 1 SINCE 8.2014 81 6600406 RECOIL ASSY 1 INCLUD.82-88 SINCE 8.2014

Does not have the piece needed to engage the engine when you pull the cord.
