Dexta Starter

I went to the starter/gen repair and they wanted almost $300 to rebuild the Lucas starter. I bought a K262746 modern starter on ebay and the bolt pattern is not the same. I'm not sure if they sent the correct starter or not and not much help from the sender. Any advice on what others have used and results appreciated. brownsmule in NC
 
Do any of the three mounting holes in the starter flange, align with the threaded bores of the engine block bellhousing?
 
Yes, any one of the three will line up but the other two will be our of place. Not sure if any one of the three are at the correct place to insure the drive gear aligns with the starter ring on the flywheel. Thanks for the interest and comment. brownsmule
 
I have used the K262746 starter on 3 of my Dexta and Super Dexta, I also have a gear reduction starter that I have mounted and used. Works even better. The K262746 and new cables made the little engine spin and start faster. To the point in Virginia temperatures, I no longer have the fuel assist start hooked up (and leaking) on any of my tractors.
Mine bolt right up. And I have not had a K262746 fail in nearly 20 years of use.

if you ask for the PN for the gear reduction, it is 1.5 hour drive to my farm, and I will have to go check. Won't be an immediate response.

It appears that they have shipped the incorrect starter to me. I will attempt to return it and get the correct item. Thanks so much for the advice. brownsmule NC
 
What I say will be no help at all but I will still say it....
I used to have 2 dextas but just the one now
Before I sold the dexta the starter failed so I asked a neighbour who had a major abandoned in a field could I
have starter he said help yourself and the only difference
between major and dexta starter is rear housing as they
fit alternate sides so after swapping housing the starter
Worked perfect until I sold it
The starter on other dexta went lazy so I dismantled and
Cleaned it and soldered new brushes and has been good ever since
 
Thanks so much for that info. I have a Super Major with a bad engine and the starter worked. I will pull it and change the parts to fit the Dexta. brownsmule NC
