720 starter problems

I broke the nose cone on the starter,don't know why? my question is if I pull start the tractor will it run without the starter installed,and will it cause any damage? I need it daily for moving bales.Yes its a gas.
 
the timing is set according to the book, the tractor always runs good. I have the tractor about 9 years, first time I had starter problems. THANKS.
 
Another cause of breaking the nose off in addition to improper ignition timing is starter engagement. Make sure that your linkages are allowed to travel far enough to totally engage the drive onto the ring gear.

Check the timing advance mechanism in your distributor to make sure it moves freely and springs back to rest when you release it.
 
How long ago did you have a timing light on it ?
Things can change with time and wear. I'd be taking a close look at the dist. for things like bushing wear and free moving advance parts, points & cond.
 
I never had a timing light on it,I just timed according to the owners manual. every thing looks good with the disturber, I had installed electronic ignition about 3 years ago and never had any problems. P.S. I'm not much of a mechanic when it comes to electric.THANKS.
