cub starter

khouse6 · Dec 18, 2014

i have a farmall cub, the starter button is against the oil filter housing. it will not work this way. only thing that i can think of will be to cut off a portion of the button.

i put another starter on the tractor and it is the same. sigh

I would say you have a wrong part or a part installed wrong. You have to figure out which. The starter switch clears on almost 250,000 Cubs, you shouldn't have to go hacking on things to get yours to work.

They used 2 different arms (long and short) on the starter switches for the rod to pull. You may have the wrong arm, or even a saddle switch from a different tractor. How about a picture?

i think he has the switch mounted backwards

Your Delco Remy starter should be model 1109603 and the sw is mounted so you pull on the lever to start.

pic is not as clear as i would like.

screwdriver blade points to conflict area

You didnt say if the sw is positioned so you pull the lever NOT push

I was thinking it is backwards too.

rterry · Dec 19, 2014

you have the wrong starter

Jim Becker · Dec 19, 2014

It is either the wrong starter, partly the wrong starter or it is badly misassembled.

Does it still have the tag with the part number?

Are both screws in place to hold the switch?

You said you even tried another starter and the same thing but do the tags have the same #. This is far out but possible that it was taken apart and the dowel pins were somehow removed and then the base is not in the correct position to be rotated so the sw would clear. Now that can be done by removing the dowell pins on both ends so the base can be rotated for the sw to clear. Delco did that on the starter for the C series they just positioned the dowell pins so the base was rotated to clear the hy system. I have starters for the A,B,and Cs and the rotation of the body is not the same. Some have been rebuilt and in some cases a stud was soldered instead to the button. Also sometimes the button has been soldered in backwards. Just another thing you find when you have had as many of those series as i have ran across. I have three Cubs all with 1109603 plates on them. I did need to replace one button as it had a stud and used a solenoid. Even had electric fan because gen was replace with an Alt. What a wiring mess.

hat is the sort of misassembly I was thinking of. Both ends would have to be out of position for the through bolts to line up. They couldn't be far out of place or the through bolts would run into the field coils, but there is probably enough room for this sort of misalignment.

hat is the correct number for the early Cubs (long arm). The ones with the short arm on the switch were 1109611. The field coils are the only difference in the starters. Any combination of starter, switch and lever should fit with no interference.

checked other cub. if you imagine a line through the bendix housing holes, the post on the switch that is not working is 3/8 inch clockwise of that line, at the top and looking from the brush end of the starter.

the other starter , imagine a line through the bendix housing holes, the post on the switch is about 1/4 inch rotated counter clockwise of that line. clears oil filter housing, maybe 1/2 inch.

more at a later time

no tag or other identifying numbers.
i agree with you, part of this starter is wrong, i think.
both screws are in place.
looked at another tractor, some difference in the location of the switch
