Anybody tried this...

If you can find one of the old wrap the rope on part it will fit on a good many engines and yes you have to carry the rope around but will work just fine if you have enough lead in your back pocket to pull the rope
 
Thought you were selling/sold that tractor.

If you look at flywheel you'll have to make some type of spacer & figure out how you're going to hold/key same to flywheel and make spacer long enough so it extends out of flywheel cover,after cutting a hole in flywheel cover then bolting pulley to spacer so you can remove pulley/flywheel cover to get to ign module if you ever have to.It's a lot of time & possibly money spent on an idea that may/may not work.

I'm guessing the eng is a OHV150 & the starter is pn 36795,considering what you are trying to do/want to do it's quicker/easier going to ebay & buying a new aftermarket starter for $59.
 
Don't quote me, but I believe Briggs used a different crankshaft on the engines with a recoil starter. Is Tec the same?
 
Kornfused,
No to your question. Years ago, JC whitney sold a belt that you wrapped around the generator pulley to pull start a 36 hp air cooled VW engine.

was going to. got too busy with other things and then sil stopped by and now it's running. I think it needed a break from me as much as I needed from it.
 
if you can find the right part, a recoil should bolt right up. If you really want to go retro, on that y2k thingy, you could find a rope start, off of like an old 3 hp briggs, on fleabay, prolly.
 
I actually found one out in the shop today, was looking for it two years ago for a different project and couldn't find it. But I no longer need to run with that idea as the starter is working and the gas a pumpin.
 
I saw that many years ago.. gave me the idea to use on off an old lawn mower engine I think it came off an old Clinton motor .. had the center drilled to fit the gen shaft on my VW and used the nut on original pulley .. It was during the gas shortage in the 70's everyone teased me about my Briggs $& Stratton VW.. but it worked with a rope. LOL
 
yep, I did that when the starter wouldn't turn the motor over. Still needed a battery to open the fuel plunger in the carb though.
 
Not really needed if you are a real cheapskate like me. Starter quit me on my VW microbus once far away in the big city. Blocked the front left tire both front and back, jacked up the right rear and wrapped it with my tow rope. Put it in 4th, pumped the gas 5 times and turned on the ignition. Pulled the rope and away she went. Drove straight home though, was not something I wanted to make a habit of doing.
