Hi - The starter drive on my 841 has blown up on me twice now (see attached pix). Here is some background info. I'd like to know if anybody has any clues as to why this is happening.
I've got to buy new parts and don't want this to occur again (this time was in the middle of spreading 8 tons of gravel...ouch!)
- A while back I burned out my 6v starter on my 12v system, so I replaced it with a rebuilt 12v starter from NAPA. I bought a new starter drive from this site. A month ago the drive failed (the gear shattered and scored the starter shaft).
- So I got a new starter from NAPA and a new drive from this site again (the drive says "Made in India"...hmmm.) That was a few weeks back. After 8 hours of operation (lots of starts) the drive locked up the tractor again. When I pulled the starter, the gear was stripped like the first time.
My questions: anybody know why this is happening? I can think of 3 possible problems: flywheel, starter, or drive. The drive may not be good quality (both failed drives were purchased from this site, made in India). The starters were rebuilds from NAPA. The flywheel...?? I can't think of why it would wait a long time before trashing the starter drive. But I did have the flywheel off a few months ago. It went back on ok, no apparent issues.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
