Hitachi 6696572 Recoil Starter Body Assembly

This was not the part I needed but by combining it with Hitachi 6696471 I was able to fix the blower.

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

Didnt like that there wasnt a picture of the back side of the part. Would have been very helpful.

The Q&A and reviews on this product were helpful in determining this was the correct model for my blower. Check them out before ordering as they changed the design post 2014 I believe. My string broke after 5+ years so I tried replacement my with a new one from Lowe’s (MTD). That string was thicker and during the install the coiled spring came out resulting in 3 hours of frustration and YouTube research getting it back in. I finally did but the tension was not the same so had to shorten the string which lead to a shorter pull. The first yank broke the string and left a thread. I repaired that and it worked, but the pull was still too short. I found this part on amazon and had it installed in literally 5 minutes and it is performing as when new. The part is held on my 4 screws and accessible after removing the screws which hold the two halves of the blower together and one that holds the tank to one of the halves. Save yourself the trouble and spend another $15 and get this part.

Was supposed to be a made fit for my blower. Inner parts didnt match up

It said in the description that this fits my model blower. It did not!

The item did not match the starter for the Hitachi. This was a generic assembly and was not compatible.

Looks the same until you bolt it on it don’t work

it didn’t not fit

Item close but too deep on engaging cog.Send me the right one. Thanks Randy Ferrell. Here is pictures. Old on left new on right. Does not work
