Oh dear, I goofed badly on this one. After cleaning off the oil and gunk from the carriage, I discovered my mower is actually a KXD2 not a KXD4. I'm not sure why, but I had always thought it was a 4.

So I guess this means the correct crank for it is the wind up one?

Centre of bolt hole to centre of bolt hole is exactly 4" to mount a winder.

I will also need a new starter cap as the teeth are worn smooth. I am not sure if the one on mine is original or from a different mower. It has the letters "GED 139-2" and "HESS" stamped on the inside of the cap. It measures 3" 1/2 inch outside diameter, and 2" 3/4 inch inside diameter, and half inch centre hole.

I am also chasing a discharge chute, but I am sure an original will be near impossible to find. If anyone owns one, I would be very grateful for all of the measurements. Then I can try to make one that looks as close to an original as possible.
