Dalom 591139 Recoil Starter Assembly for Troy Bilt TB110 TB200 Bris Strton 450E 500E 550E 575E 593959 590588 593961 Pull Start 140CC Engine Lawn Mower Parts

What It Is

This is a complete recoil starter assembly designed to replace the pull-start mechanism on Troy-Bilt TB110, TB200, and select Briggs & Stratton 450E–575E series lawn mowers with 140cc engines. It’s the part you pull to crank the engine, and it includes the housing, rope, pulley, and spring.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check engine model: Works with Briggs & Stratton 450E, 500E, 550E, 575E (140cc) and Troy-Bilt TB110, TB200 only. Confirm your engine’s model number (stamped on the blower housing or valve cover).
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces Troy-Bilt 593959, 590588, 593961, and Briggs 591139. Verify your old part number matches one of these.
• Deck size irrelevant: This is an engine part, not deck-specific. It fits any mower with the compatible engine listed above.
• Measure bolt spacing: The assembly mounts with two bolts approximately 3.5 inches apart center-to-center. Measure yours to be safe.
• Aftermarket vs. OEM: This is an aftermarket part—costs less than OEM, but may have slightly different plastic feel or spring tension. Works fine for most users.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need a T20 Torx bit (or 5/16” socket) to remove the old starter, plus a screwdriver to rewind the spring. Watch a YouTube video—it’s straightforward but fiddly.
• Rope length: The included rope is pre-cut and pre-wound. Do not cut it shorter; the factory length is calibrated for correct tension.
• Common gotcha: The spring can unwind during shipping. Before installing, gently rotate the pulley to re-tension the spring (counterclockwise) until the rope retracts fully. If it feels loose, it’s not broken—just needs a couple of wraps.
• Quality note: Plastic housing is durable but not as thick as OEM. Avoid over-tightening mounting screws (hand-tight + 1/8 turn) to prevent cracking.

Should You Buy It

If your Troy-Bilt TB110/TB200 or Briggs 450E–575E mower has a broken pull rope, stuck recoil, or snapped spring, this is a solid, affordable fix. It’s not the most premium option, but at $18 with 4.4 stars and hundreds of reviews, it saves you from buying a new mower. Best for DIYers comfortable with basic engine disassembly. Skip it if you want OEM perfection or have a different engine model.
