I have a recoil Original (#950). It's a cool thing to have but not something you'd want to give major use to. It typically doesn't fire as hot and has to be set absolutely perfect as far as the carb and points/plug to run good. Also, the recoil rope part that bolts to the motor and the magneto are NLA parts. You can make the 8hp backing plate and magneto work if you wanted. Also, you'd need a different flywheel which I don't know is available. It'll actually be cheaper to go back to electric probably even if you could find the recoil parts somewhere NOS or used.
Here's a pic after restoration before the fenders and 3 pt was on. Also has the front pto.
