Went fishing with a magnet. Found my part wasn't the only part that had sheared off. So if you don't find yours it may be OK to leave it. [Reply]  [No Email]

There are two types of Bendix, the new style on the right and the old-original style on the left. You probably have the old style with a spring. To remove the Bendix you have to compress the Bendix back toward the start and remove the pin #20. I use two bar clamps place around the starter and over the end of the Bendix. A third clamp will hold the two clamps on the Bendix if they start to slide off. You only need to push the Bendix back about 1/8". Then you can tap the pin out with a drift. Once the pin is out, remove the clamps and the Bendix will slide off. Reverse to install. Does that help? [Reply]  [No Email]

I wish that I were computer savvy enough to add a picture but I am not. I am going to close this post and study how to send a photograph and then come back for help. Thanks to all who trier to help. I will be back sometime later. Loren [Reply]  [No Email]

If so, just take the appropriate mallet and bash the offending 'pin' out. 'N' fords were invented about 2 hrs. after the 'wheel'. NO rocket science or major thinking involved. Farmers 'in the day' replaced mules, their wives & kids with the fantastic 'TRACTOR" (gas costed about 2C a gallon and was cheaper than feeding the above). HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!! [Reply]  [No Email]

I think that it was the only thing that fell down into the bellhousing. The barrel that the pin goes through is the part that sheared off near the gear. [Reply]  [No Email]
