Well last night I pulled my orgional starter out... then took it apart. Here is a shot of the pieces. Pretty simple design, should not have failed. However there was some oil build-up on the copper plates. Would have been nice if this switch were serviceable.

Now where is my parts catalog? I thought you guys may want to see it.

That is the original pattern, the later ones which are still available and directly interchange are not like that. What very often goes wrong is that the adjustment is incorrect and the switch does not make a proper contact inside, so it arcs across the contacts and burns them. The switch will slide back-wards and forwards slightly to allow for this. In extreme cases it is necessary to open up the adjustment holes slightly to allow for more adjustment...John

John,

Do you think I can repair this one? I would need new Terminals as I had to cut them to get the nuts off and I would need new insulator material, as mine is broken.

I like the idea of keeping the origional style if possible.

Sorry Jeff I don't think it is possible, I suppose you could ask on the Forum if anyone has got an old one, there have been a lot changed over the years and you know how people love to hang onto things "just in case" they need them..John

Here is my TE-20 with the cobbled in TO-20 starter. It irritated me how they cut this into the dash. But you work with what you have.

Did the TO20 not have a gear stick start position, but used a push button starter?

Bob, No, my TE-20 was built with the Gear shift starter. The TO-20's also had a similsr set up. The actual switch was different. The TE-20's had a lucus system and the TO-20's had the swich shown on the dash. The button part would face down in the tractor and be pressed by the lever.

In my case the switch failed and someone in the past replaced it with a TO-20 swich that they cobbled into the dash as shown.

It was exactly the same as yours to start Bob but they did use a different pattern of switch.
