I bought a starter bendix on ebay that was listed as new. Seller also sent me a used ,usable, one,free. When I checked them out,they seemed to be stuck.(I'm a retired hardrock miner,not a tractor mech). I sent him a nice e-mail and he offered to refund my money but also said that they could be recocked. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

You can get the starter installed with the bendix out but it is a royal pain because the bendix teeth have to match to the ring gear for the starter to bolt up. Once you start the tractor once it will spin the bendix back to the correct position.

Richard,

The original style spring drive for the old Ford starters was designed to lock in the out or engaged position. It did this until the tractor started and then the flywheel would be turning fast enough to force the drive back into the disengaged position. The starter wont mount if the drive has been locked out prior to mounting the starter. If you have a good strong bench grinder with a wire wheel on it you can disengage the drive. Mount the drive on the starter and force the drive gear into the turning wire wheel, you may have to go slow at first, the drive will start spinning like crazy, the faster the better, thats the KEY, once it starts turning fast enough the drive will whiz back into the disengaged position. We have used this trick at our shop for years. Let me know if it works.
