Warning: new Bendix requires a NEW nail hole drilled 1/2" closer to the armature ...or... more better the improved "clutch" style Bendix. Many grind a "slant" on the end of the roll-pin so it starts eazier in the armature hole. ........Dell [Reply]   [No Email]

Tractor generally starts great but have been wondering if the new hole you mentioned would put more tension on the spring & keep it from kicking out so easily? If so, that will be my first job this Spring when we get back to the cottage & my tractor. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'd "inspect" the wear pattern on the teeth. Iff'n they were just engaging, then most likely the clutch style Bendix was installed in the "wrong" hole. .......Dell [Reply]  [No Email]
