I sure do appreciate everyone helping with this -I hope I can convey intelligently a few answers to the questions you pose here. As to noise, what I last heard wasn't a grinding noise, but just a soft "whirring" or "spinning" noise. (And I am just assuming that it was the starter making it, I should add). However, I also need to clarify this further by saying that my most recent starter drive trouble was the first time this soft "whirring" noise happened; the first two times I lost a starter drive, the tell-tale sound was more like that of a weak starter or battery in your car: just slow, weak cranking, not enough to start the engine. Now, as to your question about the gears on the replaced drives: well, that star-shaped gear that protrudes from the bendix towards the starter itself has shiny spots on it all way 'round on my third and latest "bad" starter drive (which came mounted on a brand new starter I recently purchased from YT)- but, it doesn't really look worn (probably because I didn't get but a few - half dozen? - starts out of it); however, the starter drive that "spun out" just prior to this latest one looks pretty chewed up in that same particular spot, especially for my never having got more than a dozen or so starts out of it (or the drive before it, for that matter). The first drive I lost - it came with the tractor, and went bad right after I got it home - I just threw it away, having been told it was bad, and can't say what condiiton the gear was in. Probably bad, judging by its successor. I hope that is what you were talking (asking) about, and that this makes some sense. Sounds like I will have to plan on splitting the tractor soon, huh? Thanks again for the input.

Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
