ksanders, that is a great looking original w/recoil. is it still operable? i too have the same set up, but most of the time i use a rope around the pulley. and since i've used it a few times for yard duty, it no longer has that showroom beauty. i'm thinking of letting that engine go and replacing it with an k181. the k161 still runs, but getting it going in the snow is downright dangerous. last year, i was laid up for a week because my foot slipped off the tractor while attempting to start it and wound up on my back. the tractor did start, but there wasn't anyone to ride it.
