My starter ring gear on the flywheel has two bad worn spots where the starter hits compression. I had the gear off and moved it 1/2 turn to help keep the worn parts in a different spot. However it still sometimes stops when it hits the worn teeth. I am wondering if it will work okay if I simply reverse the ring gear. That is put the inside out and the outside in? The teeth are only worn about halfway accross the width of the gear. Has anyone any experiance with this?

If you have the late "A" with the starter underneath, the rod should be adjusted so that the starter won't start to run until the gear is fully engaged.

Thanks Pappy,

Mine is a 1948 A with the starter underneath. I'll set it up this weekend.

While you are at it, adjust your starter mechanism so that the gear teeth fully mesh when the starter is engaged. Most likely, this is what caused your problem.

Thanks pappy,

I think the problem is as you say but not so much the adjustment as other users not holding the pedal down while it cranks. I assume you mean an adjustment so the gear is fully engaged before the solonoid kicks in? I was not aware of an adjustment for that. Shop manual and JD repair manual don't mention it.
