Starter Handles for Ryobi One+ Lawn Mower

Both starter Handles on my Ryobi One+ Lawn Mower broke. One of them was completely broken off and the other cracked, and I couldn’t get the Lawn Mower to start. So I took the measurements of them both and made models of them. They’re quite easy to dismantle, just 4 screws on the back of the holder needs to be unscrewed. Then the upper cover of the holder can be lifted out together with the handles. No need to dismantle the yellow safety button, as I first did.

I changed the measures slightly to give a more distinct triggering of the circuit breaker. Since I think the original handles just barely made the breaker close and was a bit glitchy at times. Probably got worse with time when the handles started to crack.

 I printed them in PLA, since it gives relatively good rigidity. Not the best material for outdoor use. Both since my mower is parked indoors and are only used outdoors for short periods at the time I decided to try that anyway.

 I put some white grease on the contact surfaces between the handles. And on the small shafts in the holder that the handles are sitting on. The right handle (seen from the “Drivers” position) is the one that pushes the breaker, and the left handle either pushes or follows the right handle through its small vertical axis on the end.

 I have the small 33 cm 18 V Ryobi One+ Lawn Mower. Not sure if these handles fit other models as well. But you’re welcome to try them out.
