recoil starter needed for B&S engine like this

Postby falstaff » Tue Feb 14, 2012 7:34 pm

I am restoring another Hahn Eclipse GT-700 garden tractor, for a friend, and I need some engine parts. His engine was missing the cover and recoil starter so I don't know the model-type-code, but I am not particular as long as it fits. The engine shown here is from my 1969 Hahn-Eclipse GT-700. The engine for my buddy's tractor looks the same, but has electric start, but should also have a recoil starter. I have a cover that will fit, but I'll have to have cut it out so the starter will fit. If you have the entire cover that would be sweet. I am also looking for the air cleaner.

B & S makes a cover that goes around the starter gear and bolts to the shroud, part # 395405, about $10. If you don't find used, that might be an alternative.

I was able to find the parts I need and make something work. After I have my neighbor (who is a machinist and fabricator) make a couple of minor modifications you'll be hard pressed to tell it from an original.

Thanks to the help from another ASECC member I now have my air cleaner. I was able to do some modifications to another cover I had and I am good there too.
