Starter bendix

Well the starter started making bad noises, so took off the starter and found it was missing the spring off the bendix, so I had to split the tractor to retrieve the rest of the missing parts, the snap ring is trashed, and can't find another one like it, so I order a new bendix. Had another starter on the shelf, but it wouldn't work, the bendix would not go in outt, it too needs a new bendix, but the shaft is bent, so rather then replace the bendix on it, we are just going to keep it for parts.

You could have just left that starter piece lying in the clutch housing. Wouldn't hurt a thing. I've taken Ns apart that had part from as many as three or four starter drives.

Yeah, you deprived a future owner of some excitement. I did split one once that had no starter parts in it.

James,

The mechanical intuition that made you choose to split must be
sound; after all, if according to others, finding multiple broken pieces causing trouble is about as remote a possibility as winning the lottery . . . then you got very lucky.

Spring lodged in the pressure plate sounds like a problem ready to compound itself into greater damage.

Where was Henry when they were handing out cast iron flywheel inspection covers? :D
