Tecumseh 590644 Pinion Gear Bushing

Fits perfect. As advertised

The pinion gear on my Arien's snowblower would spin but not engage. This part fixed the problem and was easy to install.

I likeee, As Ive gotten a little long in the tooth (You youngn’s may have to google that for clarification) I decided to install an electric starter on my 1976 vintage Craftsman snowblower. As luck would have it I came across one left over from an auction of treasures that didn’t sell. After installing it, and trying it, the old,old drive bushing (pinion gear bushing) fell apart. Got a new bushing put on the starter and now works like it did in 1976 (there’s a country and western son in there somewhere) Note: I needed to disassemble (remove the armature) the starter motor to install the bushing. Just take your time and pay attention to what you’re doing. Proverbs 3:5-8

Got my Toro PowerCurve electric start back working in minutes.

The Tecumseh 590644 Pinion Gear Bushing completely disintegrated on the original starter and fortunately saved from buying a new starter from just replacing this bushing! Hope that this bushing last longer than the original.

If you are buying this, you know what it’s for and it does work …..lit is highway robbery at over 10 bucks for a little tiny piece of rubber but that’s the way it is

Fit perfectly to fix my Murray snowthrower with a tecumseh engine. Now I can use the electric start again

Amazing how this little rubber bushing, if it's bad, or in my case totally gone, without it - no electric start on my old Ariens snowblower. And thanks to Youtube on how to install. Just in time for first snow of the season, too! Worked great.
