John Deere 2305 Starter

Foothillbilly · Mar 10, 2020

I'm trying to remove a starter from a JD 2305. The motor mount and studs that hold the starter on make this very difficult. Anyone experienced this and figured out a solution? :?

Check the online JD parts book . There maybe some kind of "wonder wrench " to loosen and tighten the bolts .

If it attaches like the starter on my brothers 2940 does I think I go an end wrench in there on it. The idea of the bolts being a smaller pattern than the motor part of the stater they should have hung the designer. If he did it again killed him worse the next time.

On the older tractors I take a socket the right size
that?s 1/4 inch drive and that gives enough room to
get the bolts out

I wonder what genius did decide to make the bolt pattern smaller than the motor ? Pulled a starter out of a little white tractor and not only was the bolt pattern smaller they had a cast a little piece right behind the bolt head so so you couldn?t get a socket on it had to use a crows foot to get any where near it and then only a about a 16th of a turn and that was on the back bolt

Hopefully you removed the casting piece once the starter was out.

I took the hack saw and cut it off so the next person could actually Work on the stupid thing I still hope I never have to cross paths with it ever again it was actually built by same for white before whites death

I got the starter off by removing the left side motor mount that runs the length of the motor. There are 6 or 8 bolts that hold it on. You will need to put a floor jack under the motor and a block of wood to lift the motor up. You will have to loosen and remove the 2 rubber bushings between the mounts. Also remove the exhaust pipe. Then after you test the starter, mine was ok, :shock: you start trying to figure out what fuse,relay,diode,safety switch, wire etc is keeping it from starting. Then you put a button on the tractor to bypass the electrical issue that cannot be found and start your tractor with that. Have a nice day.
