Is the Bendix in the picture in the engaged or disengaged position? I think it is in the disengaged position. Not driving the flywheel. Left my email off a previous post

That pic is disengaged. If you happen to engage it while off the tractor you can spin it on a wire wheel in the right direction and it will disengaage. I know that one maker of the replacement drives you pretty much have to destroy to get it off the starter. I dont know who sells those or I would avoid them. I think a cutoff wheel was what I used to get it to where I could remove the pin. I should have taken some pics and put them in an email draft.
 
riveroadrat,
Good information. I was wondering how a person would remove the Bendix in the picture. Your idea using a cut off wheel is excellent. My main problem is how to install the retaining pin.Have several solutions: Taper the retaining pin slightly and drive it in, use a tapered punch to force the retainer back and drive in the pin from the otherside.
 
The OEM style and some aftermarket all you had to do was take one hand and pull the bendix toward the motor and the pin would push right out. Its spring loaded on the pin end so the pi n wont come out. Its only that one type that myself and another poster had trouble getting the pin out because you couldnt pull that face away from the pin.

riveroadrat,

I saw a OEM style in a picture like you mentioned. A definite better usable Bendix. Do not know how a person would remove a Bendix like in the picture on my post. Probably use a Dremel tool and grind the collar of the Bendix to remove the Bendix.The OEM Bendix may still be available but all I could find on the internet was like the one in the picture on my post.
 
The OES Ford ones came in two styles. The first ones you could see the spring on the outside and the later ones the spring was enclosed. If you go buy one at an auto part or tractor parts all you have do do is see if you can hand squeeze that pin collar back far enough so the pin will slide in. The one that gave me trouble looked like the later style but seemed to be a smaller outside diameter and you couldnt pull it back past the pin hole. They may have used those drives on Ford vehicles also.

I saw a tool on the internet that Mac?s auto parts sells
Tool for working on bendix starter drives
Looks like it would compress the drive to remove or install
the pin
 
riveroadrat,

Still haven't found a Bendix like you mentioned. At present need to use the one I have. Have had it for a year so unable to return it now.
 
Hobo,
Great improvise for removing the pin. !!! Came across a tool on ebay would like your opinion. I just like tools so ordered the tool Included a picture of the tool

Hobo,
Is that an 8N starter you are working on to remove the pin? looks like your all thread goes through the starter in two places. Starter on my jubilee is different than the starter on the 8N. The drive looks the same and I do have a small 12 ton press which after looking at your tool to compress the Bendix think I could make something similar. Sent you a picture of the Bendix tool I ordered.Would like your opinion about tool. Looks like it would work
 
Hobo,

After seeing what you did using things you had, very innovative, I built a tool to work on bendixs. It works: used two pieces of angle 3/16 x 1 1/2 angle , a piece of full thread 1/4 rods, cut to proper length, plus 1/4 in nuts and washers. Thanks for sharing with me.

Wanted to showyou a homemade tool for removing the pins in a barrel style Bendix. Got the idea from , Hobo,
Used two pieces of 6 1/2 inch long 3/16 x 1 1/2 angle iron, a piece of full thread rod cut to two pieces of proper length, and several 1/4 inch nuts plus washers
