Re-grinding cams is one of the cheapest and easiest repairs to do when any engine is rebuilt. Worn cams are one of the major causes of engines that "just never work right". Just take the offending cam to the local engine rebuilding machine shop.

there is a guy in wyoming (I think) that put a cat starter (24 volt?????)on an R using angle iron.the angles were bolted to case with pony mont bolt holes it was pretty crude but works.I think a thick flat plate would be neater. one problem is though is that stock piston R starts harder than an 830( doesn't turn harder just doesnt fire as easily) so good batteries ( at least two maybe four) wil be required. I am quite sure the parts you need for the pony could be located.Paul

Paul has good advise. Repair the starter. Will be a bit pricey but a much better job.

Give the local John Deere dealer a call. There might be something sittin around in a dealership somewhere. Ask 'em to do a search for ya. I found a gasket for mine that my local dealer said didn't exist anymore. Went to another dealer, had him search, found one in iowa. If that doesn't turn up look up twocylinderdiesel.com and check some of his links to R parts places. Good luck and God bless.
