the nose cone around the starter bindex has busted for the second time and all of the broken pieces fell down into the bell housing , does any one know why this keeps happing? this was a new starter and should be the right one for this engine. getting tired of pulling the engine to clean out the housing and checking ring gear! thanks charles

Charles in your post about the carb you mention a bad oil leak at the main seal. I suspect the mains or crank are badly worn letting the crank bounce up and down. Thus trying to go under the starter and breaking the nose off. With the engine out check the play on the crank by putting a pry bar under the flywheel (bottom) and prying up Shouldnt move more than .002/.005. Hope this helps. Ed

I had to rework the brushes on the starter on my JD440. My starter was a Delco the same starter as on my 1953 Chev PU.

Does your crawler have gas or diesel engine?

I had always suspected ether, for I repaired most busted starters in the winter. Otherwise check the aligment. Good luck.
