Folks,
I 'picked' this up in leu of payment for some work. I know it is a John Deere LUC motor [[i:f0219ff4e1]because of some research[/i:f0219ff4e1]] it has a hand crank but whomever built it, failed to leave an opening to use it [[i:f0219ff4e1]thank goodness[/i:f0219ff4e1]] and it has a 12v starter on it with an alternator. The problem is the starter just sits there, in that it has absolutely no mounting brackets. Anyone seen anything like this before? Runs good when I can get enough ground to use the starter. I'm looking for a way to fix the starter issue. Suggestions are definitely welcome.
Also if I'm posting in the wrong spot let me know.
Sorry up date, on this it is all wheel drive, I'll need to figure out what all that came from. Seems like a heck of a lot of chains, gearings alone with a transmission for a 12-16HP motor. But it putts along and nothing stops the bloody thing. Brakes are froze but with all the gearing and such, just putting in the clutch brings you to a stop after 5-6 feet.
I've added some pictures of where the starter is mounted in [[i:f0219ff4e1]on?[/i:f0219ff4e1]] the bell-housing. You'll notice that there is no threaded holes in put 'set screws' in, I can't feel any either. I assume that if this motor had been designated a LA or LC it would have had some holes drilled and tapped. Don't know for sure. Need to do more research.
The tractor was acquired in MN
Sorry for the delay, took a short term mission trip wiring a 6k sq ft building for a boys ranch.
I determined the bracket was not needed, remove it, turned the starter until it was in the right place and tightened the 'set screw' [[i:f0219ff4e1]bolt[/i:f0219ff4e1]] and still there was a problem, it just wouldn't turn over. I pulled the starter, an easy thing to do and the the starter drive spring that disengages the pinion gear is broken. Unfortunately, there is no serial number that I can find on the starter. It is a 12v starter [[i:f0219ff4e1]assuming[/i:f0219ff4e1]] as it has a 12v batt. Any suggestions on the what to be looking for? Looks like I could use a new flywheel ring gear too.
