Where are you located. I'm interested if you want to sell and are located near London, Ontario

Try Kijjii or Facebook marketplace for junk or used mowers. That's where I have gotten most of my spares from.

Just an update. It turns out that the replacement cup I installed had a different height and the pawls would not catch the cup. Installed the old cup and the replacement recoil and all is good now.

One roadblock is that the recoil assembly is discontinued on any website I checked.

Hi Rivets, are you aware of any outlet that sells the pawls by themselves. I can't find anything on line. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback. The pawls on both the original and the replacement are metal but I suspect both were not coming our far enough. Maybe because they are gummed up. Unfortunately for me I already dropped off the mower at my local shop for them to have a look at it. I'll update the post...

Went to start subject and pull cord was normal on first pull but no start. Pulled cord a second time and there was no tension on the cord. First thought was that the metal hooks that grab the starter cup were damaged or that the cup itself was worn. Removed both but no apparent damage. Replaced...

I did not know that... I always assumed it chewed up the grass clippings. Well thanks for your feedback it was much appreciated

Just looking for some feedback. I recently sharpened the cutting blade on the subject. Should I have also sharpened the mulching blade? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Did you inspect belt....stiff or cracked may be the issue or maybe the pulley is loose/worn.

Well that was a self learning experience. Out of 4 recoils in my stock pile....2 were toast...of the other 2 one had metal wings that pop out when you pull the cord and the other was plastic which I can only assume was a knock off. Anyways it will be interesting to see what is on my back up...

Have already been on parts tree and parts house . It only shows the part number I'm looking for as the whole engine.....interesting that the number is labeled on the recoil housing. Since the actual recoil part is the same for 1998/1999 model years I'm pretty confident I have the correct...

I have the subject mower and now when I try to start it the rope just pulls out without engaging the engine. It will grab once in a while. I suspect the recoil is going. Anyways the part # on Partstree shows as 95-1868 but is discontinued. I do however have 3 other used 10525 recoils but the...

Here's what I use for my 10525's. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/shell-nautilus-premium-outboard-oil-0281770p.html?loc=plp
