The starter will engage but usually have to try a few times, starts tractor easily once it engages. Took a look at it today and stopped short of removing the starter. What I noticed is the starter switch looks new and the cable to the battery also looks to have been replaced. The ring gear on the flywheel looked good, not what I expected knowing that it has been grinding for awhile. Could it be that the linkage from the pedal to the starter needs adjusted? I have a service manual for the 60 that states the operating rod from the starter should project 1 and 9/16 inch above the transmission case with starting motor in disengaged position. Anyone have experience with this or should I not try to adjust. Just do not want to have this starter rebuilt then find out it still grinds.
