Using starting wheel to start John Deere

johndeerejim · Jan 2, 2021

Hello,

In my B's owners manual, they talk about using the steering wheel to start the tractor. They talk about a stub shaft and cross pin. I do not
have a part number in my parts book for this. Were would this be obtained? I want to get this to turn the flywheel for magneto timing.
Attached is a picture.

Thank you. They appear to be for late styled Bs (sn 201000 and up). will this work on early styled (1946) B's?

Depends on what year your B is. As noted in Jim's link, that one is for the newer ones with enclosed flywheels. If yours is an older tractor you will need this one.

even the D takes this style also, with the pin.

I actually found it on Ebay, thank you everyone.

I made the stub shaft from a hex head bolt. 5/8 bolt I believe. Then I use a crescent wrench to turn it. Works great. Keep one in the toolbox of my "B" and "AR".

I'd like to see the guy that can use a steering wheel to start one of my D's.
