Hitachi 6684938 THB-260PFRB24E Starter Assembly

Super easy and works great!

Worked like a champ.

So far so good. Works great. Easy installation. This doesn’t have the original label on the housing so I used a heat gun and removed the label from the old housing and stuck it on the new one.

Great Replacement and Easy to Install

Perfect fit for my Hitachi leaf blower (Model RB 24EAP) made in 2016. It is a simple replacement. As another review mentioned, I can confirm that the third letter in the serial number advises the year it was made. Example-- Serial number P364756.... 6=manufacturing year of 2016.

I have a gas blower Hitachi RB24EAP. After about 4 years I broke the pull cord. I spent an entire day trying to pack the starter spring back into place after replacing the rope. I watched a YouTube video where the guy made it look easy. But it wasnt easy. I had two people working on it and we still couldnt get the spring to stay in place. I was beginning to think that I was going to have to buy a new blower because of a broken rope which seems silly. I like this blower a lot and I wanted to keep using it. I found this starter and although it cost too much for what it is, in my opinion, it bolted on with four bolts fit perfectly and started my blower right away. Im back in business.

I put this on last year in the middle of summer and this spring the rope has already snapped, so not even a full year of use, more like 2-3 months tops once you take out the winter storage months.

Fit well worked well

String breaks once a season. I’ve bought three of them now

Broke my Hitachi blower on a Saturday. Ordered the part. Sunday it arrived. 5 minute install. All good!
