Yes 74 is zip start , this mower looks like the motor is a 125 but has a different cowl, the impulse starter or zip starter can be easily fitted,
I've never been a fan of impulse starters so if I have a mower that gets used a fair amount I would always convert to
zip start .

This Utility can't be 1970 the muffler doesn't discharge under the base in 1970 or early 1971.
