In another thread I described my problems getting the bad starter off my 2130 with a Woods 1020 FEL. The loader frame reduced the already minimal clearance to turn the bolt and cap screw. I bought a half moon wrench, but it was curved too much, and I couldn't even get it on the nut. I finally went to Advanced Auto to buy a cheap wrench that I could bend slightly. But I first went ahead and tried the straight wrench. I was able to get in on, and could turn the nut a few degrees, but not enough to be able to get another bite with the wrench. However, I tried just turning the wrench over, and discovered that the points were out of alignment just slightly, so I was able to get another bite and rotate the wrench a few more degrees. By my calculations it took about 30 bites with the wrench just to get a full 360 degrees rotation. After about an hour I was finally able to get both the bolt and cap screw off and removed the starter.
Finally, here is my question: Are 12 point box wrenches deliberately made to be slightly out of alignment for just this reason, or did I just get lucky?
