H starter

RMOMN · Sep 15, 2014

I installed a new starter which I bought here. About 1 out of 10 times starting the tractor the starter is locked. I have to put in 5th gear and rock the tractor and I will hear it let go. What do I need to do to fix this?

These "new" starters originate from the "land of almost right" and most will end up back there in a few short years. There's some knock-off Delco 10SI alternators that probably come across on the same boat and will make a return trip in about the same time period.

Provided the case is good, originals can be rebuilt for ever and ever.

If your flywheel ring gear is in good shape and your cables, battery, and switch are all in good shape and cables properly sized and connected properly and cleanly, I'd say the next step, if purchased recently, should be testing the warranty that accompanies the starter.

its possible the bendix is extending too far and jamming against the flywheel. you may need to add a shimming washer on the nose side of the starter. there may be an extra washer on the rear side of the armature shaft, move one to the front.

If the "new" starter has the old design drive assembly with a big flat wound spring, change it to the new design with a tiny spring and a cushion in the pinion drive.. Much better. Jim

What issue did you have with old starter?

A bad ring gear can cause this.

Thanks, I will check this weekend

The old starter was failing and the connection on the side was almost broke loose inside. The new starter cranks almost like it is 12 volt and the tractor starts better then ever.
