So I am still trying to get her out of the garage.
I managed to cure my gov. issue on Saturday. I tried to jump the tractor and the starter solenoid would click but no response from the starter. I remembered hearing it making funny sounds while trying to get it started before. But at least it was making noises. It would work and then I would try to start again and it would just make a spinning sound. So I would try again.
Sunday I took out the starter and the teeth are all worn down, there is no spring response and the teeth cog just spins freely on the post. So I hooked it up to the battery and jumper cables and I could here the solenoid clicking but nothing was happening in the starter. Crickets.
I am thinking about having it rebuilt locally for 125.00-150.00. 232.00 plus a core charge for new seems a little steep and I would like to give the local guy the business. However, I have read here that some people don't rebuilt it right whether it be with the shims or the teeth they use.
What are the reviews of having it rebuilt verses just buying a new one and installing it?
