Kickstarter lever
Kickstarter lever for the gearbox outer cover, catalog part 57-1939 (also T1939).
This is the kickstarter lever, part number 57-1939, also listed in older books under T1939. It's the arm that folds out from the gearbox outer cover so you can swing the engine over by foot rather than relying on the battery and starter you don't have on these machines.

Our catalog data ties this lever to the gearbox outer cover figure, which is where the kickstart shaft comes through the case. It shows up in catalog listings spanning 1964 to 1965, so it's tied to that era of gearbox casting.
Some listings elsewhere describe this as a short-arm kickstart lever, which matches what we see here. If you're not sure whether your outer cover and shaft splines match up with this lever, give us a call before ordering and we'll help sort it out.
