9n starter going out

jjk454ss · Nov 14, 2015

My starter has always done this, but seems worse recently. It turns the tractor over ok, but then it stops turning over and I hear a "whining/spinning" sound and no turning over. I have to wait for the whining sound to completely stop or if I push the starter button veg ore it stops it just whines again. Hopefully this makes sense.

Is this the starter going bad? Does it need to be rebuilt? Or is it something else?

No editing posts I guess.

"veg ore" is supposed to say "before"

Sounds like the engine has fired then kicks the starter bendex out and then you do not let go of the starter button fast enough so it has to spin down before you can hit the button again a common thing to happen

Comm on thing for old style bendix--get you a new style bendix--best money you will ever
spend on these old tractors..

Bendix? You guys are speaking a different language than me

. I'll have to do some research on that. Is it a simple thing to change out?

Bendix I guess is a brand name from yrs ago--Starter drive on end of starter shaft is what
I'm talking about..new style/won't kick out prematurely, works 100% better than old
style..

Got it. Is it easy to replace if I order one?

My advice is to rebuild the original starter than to buy anything sold today as a new, aftermarket replacement. 9N starters have 1 -wire and no solenoid. Take the unit to your trusty local starter/alternator shop and they can bench test it first, usually without charging a fee. Tell them it is for an old Ford 9N tractor with a 6-volt/positive ground system, but that really doesn't matter. You will be satisfied with a rebuild rather risking buying a new one and getting the wrong one and way ahead on the money you'll save not to mention the headaches.

dummo.. can you push a pin out, then push a pin back in?

If so, you can change a starter drive on an N.

the new pins may not have a chamfered end and may be harder to start.. if so reuse old pin if good and fits and chamfe3red, or if you can get it in with no chamfer ok, or add one if needed.

use your arm and a vice to compress drive and spring while you fish with your free hand to get pin in and out.

As SoundNGuy says, it's easy to replace. I did mine a few months ago... but don't play with the new start drive when you get it to "see how it works" - otherwise it will pop out and you will need to learn the trick to make it pop back; a wire wheel to spin it.

Just take it as it arrives and put it on the starter without messing with it. I played with it to see how it works.
