When I try to start my tractor it turns but makes ALOT of noise. It sounds as if the starter isn't dis-engaging. I was able to get the starter cover off but can't figure out how to get the armature out. When I turn the armature by hand the fan turns. I can rotate the plate that the armature goes through into the engine (the one the cap screws bolt into) but can't find anyway to get it out. What am I doing wrong or not doing? The manual says to remove the cap screws then remove the starter motor. Doesn't work! What connects the starter to the engine? It doesn't look as if the threads on the cap screws are long enough to be what connects the starter to the engine. Are they? I removed the block shuttlecock to get the starter cover off but I'm stuck now. Can SOMEBODY help? PLEASE!

Jim, I'm about on week ahead of you. My starter broke on Sunday 12 March. I had to pound a screwdriver between starter and clutch housing and pry. I worked around the circumference of the starter prying just a little at each spot. It suddenly came loose. Broke the bendix. I think it was wedged into the flywheel too. New Bendix is on the way now and Alice should be running by the end of the week.

You can type "starter" into the search engine at the top of the first page of the starter board and peruse 1838+8 messages on the issue. Read closely for clues about various incantations that are needed.

Good luck,
Brent

It sounds like the starter drive has been damaged and is still engaged against the flywheel ring gear and has gotten jamed. I would take a big screwdriver and drive it between the end plate of the starter that is against the clutch housing and see if you can get the starter housing alignment flange to come out of the clutch housing. If it will come back about a half inch it might free the starter drive so that it will come out. If all else fails and you just can't get the starter drive free you might consider burning off the shaft of the armature as close to the starter end plate as possible and then drive the shaft into the clutch housing. This is the end for the starter but rebuilts can be bought at most auto parts stores. It would then be necessary to fish out the old starter parts from the clutch housing. Might even have to remove the steering sector and dash to get it out.
