Whats the best quality longest lasting gear reduction starter brand for a 3020

I have had great luck with the 150$ EBay starters

They're all the same. Not enough demand to warrant multiple factories building these. They're all made on the same line. Only differences are the lies the seller tells you about the quality, and the prices. Unless you can verify the seller is reputable, will stay around, and guarantees replacement, buy from the cheapest source.

Make sure the nose cone is steel. Or you will be digging out the nose cone from the clutch area when it breaks off and binds up in there.

Iskra has a very good 4 kW model.

Just how many of these factories have you worked at?

I will second the broken nose cone. Mine even ate the teeth off the ring gear while it was at it. Tractor did need split for a clutch but not that day. Tom

one little problem with a gear reduction starter is rpms, I'm assuming you are using this on a diesel a lot of which not all don't start well being spun over at a low rpm, not saying that the gear reduction starters don't work they are a lot of them used, but i have ran into a couple of scenarios where the extra cost of the gear reduction starter did little to correct a starting issue, that would have been more cost effective to have rebuilt or replaced the direct drive starter and installed enough battery to do the job. neighbor bought a 2640 jd from me that i had replaced the factory 6 volts with 2 12 volt 650 cca batteries one of the batteries went bad with him and the local rebuilder talked him into replacing a good direct drive starter with an expensive aftermarket gear reduction one claiming it would start with one battery, even though it will start under good conditions to this day it has never started the same as it did.

To my knowledge no 6 volt batteries were installed at factory on JD 2640 tractors. Yes JD tractors had option from factory for two 12 volt batteries attached in parallel for extra 12 volt starting power.

as for the six volts being factory i assumed that, as it was about 8 years old when i bought it and had been sitting approx 4 of those years, any way it had 2 - 6 volts in it that i got rid of on day one.

Used tractors are subject to have a lot of incorrect parts replaced on them. Photo below shows factory 2640 tractor batteries & cables.
