593959 Recoil Starter Compatible with Troy-Bilt TB110 TB200 140CC 150CC Craftsman M110 M115 Lawn Mower Parts Bris Strato 591139 595355 590588 Pull Start Assembly

What It Is

The 593959 recoil starter is a pull-start assembly that replaces the factory unit on Troy-Bilt TB110/TB200 and Craftsman M110/M115 walk-behind mowers with 140cc–150cc engines. It’s the part you pull to start the mower—when the rope snaps, spring breaks, or housing cracks, this swap gets you back to mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s engine model and existing starter part number. This assembly fits:

• Troy-Bilt: TB110, TB120, TB130, TB150, TB160, TB200 (models with 140cc or 150cc engines)
• Craftsman: M110, M115 (same engine family)
• Engine types: Briggs & Stratton 140cc (e.g., 450E series) and 150cc (500E series)
• Direct OEM replacements: Troy-Bilt 593959, 591139, 595355, 590588

What to check: Measure the bolt spacing on your old starter (center-to-center across mounting holes)—it should be 3.5 inches. Also verify the rope hole aligns with your mower’s handle. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM, but matches original dimensions. If your mower has a different deck size (e.g., 21-inch vs 22-inch), the starter is the same—only engine matters.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Rated 4.6/5 from 432 reviews; most users report it’s as durable as OEM for home use. Some note the rope feels slightly thinner than original—fine for occasional mowing, but heavy users may prefer OEM.
• Installation: Easy—two bolts, a nut, and a wire clip. No special tools needed. Takes about 10 minutes. Watch for the spring tension: don’t let the recoil spool unwind completely during swap.
• Common gotchas: The included rope may be longer than needed—trim to match your old one. Also, the mounting bolts might not be included; reuse your originals. If your mower has a 159cc engine (e.g., some TB210 models), this won’t fit—check displacement first.
• Compatibility check: If your old part number ends in 591139, 595355, or 590588, this works. If it’s a different number (e.g., 590587), measure bolt spacing—3.5 inches is the key.

Should You Buy It

If you have a Troy-Bilt TB110/TB200 or Craftsman M110/M115 with a 140cc–150cc engine and a broken or worn-out pull start, this is a solid, budget-friendly fix. It’s not for heavy-duty commercial use, but for a homeowner with a few acres, it’ll perform well. Skip it if you need OEM exactness or have a different engine displacement.
