starter on cub

Deake · May 26, 2013

Is there a easy way to take off a starter on a cub? Do you just take out the inner part and leave the case? If so how do you test it?

Two studs, one nut and a cotter pin and the whole starter comes off.

I have done that but there doesn"t seem to be enough room to slide the whole starter out. Do I need to dissemble the starter and slide the drive out first?

Are you talking about the same kind of Cub I'm thinking of? Removing a starter from a Cub is very straightforward.

should come right out unless you have cultivators on it then you may need to take something off

That's the cub I have. When I try and slide it out it hits the inlet elbow. I've tried twisting it every which way with no luck.

You will not hurt it by doing so. Maybe the small straight hose is longer on yours than most. That would do it. you could drain the Coolant and remove the elbow as well. Jim

Thanks, I was able to just wiggle it out apart, I put it back together and it spun on the ground. Put it all back together and nothing doing. Jumper cable from the battery to the strater will get a spark. Cable to the starter won't spark unless I have a jumper cable as a ground from the battery to the starter. Ground wire on the battery looks fine, should I get a new one?

Check ALL your ground connections and clean them down to bare metal. This includes the point where the starter itself mounts to the tractor.

Again thanks for the help. The ground was corroded, in all my years of working with old Farmall tractors I never saw that, in fact I didn’t think it could happen. Guess you’re never to old to learn.
