Is the spring out? If not, leave it in and just wind the spool in the direction that it would go when you pull the rope. Wind until it stops, then back it up enough to line up the holes for the rope, and insert the rope, tie it off, and let it wind the rope back in.

If the spring is out, good luck....it takes patience and strong hands to wind it up enough to get it back in place.

electric mower rectifier

Last Aug. I posted a topic about an electric mower that had shorted out and was told that it was probably the rectifier and it would be inexpensive to replace. I called Sears since this is a Craftsman lawnmower and they say the rectifier is not a part that is bought separate from the motor.To get the part I have to buy the whole motor which is $200. Is there another place to buy this part?Read More
