CC46ES (2010) Cub Cadet Lawn Mower

I found the model number of the Briggs & Stratton engine on the inside of the engine housing. Ordered a new starter-rewind unit, as the old cord broke and the thing was well worn.

This has nothing to do with PartSelect.com as they just shipped the Briggs and Stratton part box.
