I have a 300 pulling tractor and I need a stronger starter thn the stock one to crank it. I don't want to buy an expensive gear reduction starter, so does anyone know if a 300 Diesel starter is any stronger or if there is anything I can do to the stock one to make it stronger? Any info would be a great help.

Thanks

May I throw a few pennys in here. If you know about cars or go to car shows you may have seen Optima batterys. They are now made for Inter state and I have a regional warehouse just up the street. Go find your local warehouse for this outfit and be nice and friendly. They USUALLY have warrenty batteries in the back. Some one left the lights on etc. and a service station will just swap out the battery instead of slowly trickle charge it. These batteries are 800 amp at ZERO degree and 1000 amp at 70 degree. It will melt your 7/16 box wrench. Now the best part. the guys I know load test these "turn ins" after an over night charge, give you 6 months to bring it back and my guys charge $30 bucks for a $150 battery! Can't beat that! This is sort of those wearhouse only -limited time kind of deal, but what a deal. Go check it out.

I have had to do this with my H puller. If it a 3 bolt starter, I have used a starter windings from a 560, it is 12 volt. Armature, and brush failuer is one of the main reasons for the starter not being able to crank over a high compression engine. Here is exactly what I did to crank over a 340 ci H engine with 300+psi of compression. I taken the starter to a local starter shop, and had it converted to 12 volt windings. I had them machine the area where the brushes set on the armature so it has a flat, clean surface for the brushes to ride. I run a 1000 cca battery, on the front of the tractor, and here is where the problem happened, The battery leads were not heavy enough to transfer the proper amp load to the starter, I hooked up the ground cable dirsctly to the front end and has a very short lead. I had to use a 10ga postive lead to the starter from the battery, after that it cranks it over with little problems. I have to keep a fully charged battery in it, otherwise it will not crank over fast enough to start. But it usually starts right up with in the first 2 revolutions. Hope this helps, ChadS

How big is the engine in your 300? ChadS
