HOW HARD IS IT TO REPLACE THE STARTER RING GEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRACTOR. ALOND WITH ALL MY CARD. ISSUES, I WENT TO START THE TRACTOR TO PUT IT IN THE SHED TO WORK ON IT AND IT MAY A LOUD NOISE. I PULLED THE STARTER OUT AND ALL THE TEETH ARE GONE AND WHERE IT WAS ON THE STARTER GEAR, STRIPPED ALL THE TEETH OFF OF IT. I THINK IT IS TIME TO DIG A NICE SIZE HOLE, AND BURY THIS NIGHTMARE.

1. You do have to split the tractor. The ring gear is part of the flywheel. To remove the old one, all you need to do is drill a hole in the old ring about 3/16 - 1/4 inch in near the flywheel. If it doesn't pop off from that, a few strokes with a hack saw on the outer part of the ring gear where you drilled the hole will do it.
2. The next part is trickier, you have to heat up the new ring gear so it expands and will then shrink on to the flywheel when it cools. Make sure your wife is out of the house for a while. Heat the oven to 500 - 525 degrees F. Thoroughly clean the new ring gear with lots of soap and water (you don't want to her to come home with the house smelling of burning oil). Heat for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven with a thick pair of leather gloves and immediately place over the flywheel. The is a small difference between front and back of the gear so look closely at the old one before taking it off and orient the new one the same way. As soon as it comes in contact with the cool flywheel, it will cool to the touch almost immmediately. Some say to put the flywheel in the freezer first, I did mine over the winter and I brought it up from the cold garage just before taking the ring gear out of the oven.

No matter what machine you have it will want some attention at some time, they do wear out. Very often the teeth get worn due to incorrect meshing due to not being set correctly, catching the starter coming out of reverse doesn't help either. To replace the starter ring you will need to take the engine out, you then have to sweat a new starter ring onto the flywheel. In the good old days we were allowed two hours to do all that.

I MEANT CARB. ISSUES, NOT CARD. SPELLING ERRORS ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD.
