Hi Jeff and Norm
The steel pull cord guide is on the previous page (4) Jeff, the first 2 images I posted one has a grey plastic top the other is the red top,
any model with that type of plastic top will have that starter.
https://collection.maas.museum/object/319768We know a little more weight fixed the kick back problem and the full crank is not as difficult to start but these PT's
are missing half a crank compared with the Full crank and that means the PT is already missing 1000 grams of spinning mass
which is the same weight as a tow ball.
If it was me I would be buying a tow ball for $2. at the wreckers and machining the threaded part off the tow ball
then drilling and taping the tow ball so it threads onto the crank or just drill a hole in the tow ball that is bigger
than the crank thread and then weld the crank nut to the tow ball. That's probably 600 grams more.
The 460 Pro utility is the only model that I know that will have the bigger boss Jeff but a lot of the Victa utility
mowers don't have the heavier boss.
The 460 pro doesn't have the steel ring starter cord guide but has a removable alloy guide but is still a good starter.
Cheers
Max.
