Guys,
I have read the entire forum, and I promise as an 8n owner, I will before I ever ask.
I have a side mount distributor, what I believe is still a 6v system.
I am encountering many of the same issues on mine, as what seems to be most of everybody else had them, or is having them.
To the issue,
I burnt up a starter motor, - my negligence. I let the magic smoke out.
Ordered one. Got it in today, I installed - it was really simple or I really dorked it up.
I assembled the cables, and first push of the push button, it turned over, cranked it. I drove it around 30 minutes or so.
I shut it off. Cranked it back up and nothing. The solenoid clicks.
I read where the starter motor could get stuck on the fly wheel.
I unhooked everything. - even spun the flywheel with a pry-bar,
hooked it back up, tested it outside the tractor. NADA.
Same click, no spinny. javascript:emoticon('')
I got the old starter and I can spin the bendix and shaft by hand.
I cannot rotate the new one, period. and the where the arrow is pointing to in the pic, - the middle part that is on the gears, is no where near those small worm like gears.
