Farmall 400 Starter

What style of Farmall 400 gas engine starter is the best?

Seems to be 2 to 3 different styles. Two with electrical contact soleniod and one with soleniod pulled starter drive.

Thanks

Starters with drive engaging selonoids only came on 400 diesel tractors. They were used on 450 LP tractors and used for replacement LP starters on 400. LP and diesel starters are different though. IH must of thought the selonoid engaging type was better for higher cranking losds. I think if adjusted correct they give less wear and tear to ring gear and drive.

Thanks for the info!

Brother and I bought the 400 last spring and we're trying to get bugs out. So far it's been a twisted float bracket, a Pentronix Igition, tighten up #4 valve tappets (wouldn't open #4 intake valve), replace the WFE wheel bearings (wheel locked tight) and replace the starter.

But all 4 tires are brand new, the TA works, okay paint, and a Farmhand F11 loader with a pto pump.
