So I have seen guys are putting gear reduction starters in tractors to get them to spin faster, but I am missing something in the concept.
There is obviously a gear reduction in the starter. This is going to allow the motor to turn the engine over while drying less current and not "working as hard" compared to a direct drive starter. Because the motor isnt under as much load does it then spin faster, thus making up for the gear reduction? At first thought a gear reduction starter should turn the engine over slower NOT faster. Fill me in..
