Hello, I have replaced the rear oil seal. Pulling the engine out completely, is the best, easiest, and smartest thing to do. Having put the engine back in the dozer, I have attempted to start it. My TD 9 has 12 volt generator, starter, and battery. Originally, I think it must have had a 6 volt system. In any event, When I attempted -before and now, the engine turns slow; the starter and starter button, begin smoking and get very hot in a short time -like 5 to 8 seconds max. I am unable to start the engine. I spray a small amount of either, and perhaps one, two cylinders fire then the starter, starter button begin smoking and getting hot. I have rebuilt the starter, replaced the starter button, though I am faced with the same dilema. I recall when I had a sand rail it had a 6 volt starter and 12 volt battery. The starter would turn the engine very fast. However, you could not keep the starter going very long as the starter would burn. So, what if I replaced the 12 volt starter with a 6 volt starter. Would the 6 volt starter turn this engine faster? Something has to be done; for I cannot continue to rebuild the starter, and replace the starter button, plus I want to get the engine started. ANYONE HAVE KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE IN AND AS TO THE ABOVE, AND WOULD YOU PLEASE INFORM ME? Thanx
