Handle-recoil 110-1778

1. Inserted bolt into the handle and attached nut.
2. Replaced spark plug
3. Installed new discharge door latch
4. Removed old starter rope, installed new starter rope and rewound rope
5. Installed new pull handle on rope
6. Took mower blade off, removed drive belt shield, removed drive wheels, removed pulle ... Read more y guards and installed the new belt. (This was the most time-consuming part as it required a significant disassembly of the drive unit and lower drive unit to remove the drive belt shield and pulley guards.)
This mower is a 12-year-old Lawn Boy 10656 self-propelled mower. Other than basic maintenance I had never done anything to it. So, for about 2.5 hours of work and the cost of the parts it was a smart fix. It runs like a new mower and saved me at least $350. I was glad to be able to find these parts here at a decent price. I will definitely look here first in the future to find replacement parts.

I cut the cord just below the knot. Threaded the cord through the new handle and retied a new knot.

1.Easy repair, had to cut knot (be sure to cut only enough rope to untie knot) holding old handle
2. Installed new handle tied new wedge knot.

Untied knot on old handle, fed rope through new handle tied a double knot
