MTD Genuine Parts Snowblower Recoil Starter Rope Handle

This handle is a universal-style replacement part for MTD snowblowers, but you should always verify your machine's specific parts diagram. Check your owner's manual or the MTD parts lookup tool using your snowblower's model number to confirm that part number 490-241-0002 is listed as the correct replacement.

This is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part produced by MTD. It is built to the exact factory specifications of your original handle, ensuring the correct fit and material durability.

This item is the recoil starter handle only. It does not include the starter rope, though it is designed to be easily attached to your existing rope.

Replacing the handle is a straightforward task that typically requires only basic tools. You generally just need to pull the existing rope out slightly, secure it so it doesn't retract, untie the old knot, and thread the new handle on.

OEM parts are manufactured to the specific ergonomic and durability standards of your machine. While generic handles may fit, an OEM handle ensures the grip size, material density, and attachment mechanism are exactly what your snowblower was designed to use.
