The Tuul Crib 7,339 #1 Posted April 24, 2021 Just got done rebuilding the starter on this big block and when I put it on the tractor it's spins fine but the Bendix won't engage the fly wheel. Any ideas why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any ideas why? Starter rebuilt? No wires swopped around, or anything that could cause the motor to run in reverse, pulling gear in instead of pushing out? Doug.

squonk 43,362 #3 Posted April 24, 2021 Try a little graphite on the shaft. And yes hooking it up backwards will make it run in reverse. (don't ask!) 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,339 #4 Posted April 24, 2021 No it is running in the correct direction I'm going to try maybe cleaning some of the painted surface off. Meaning ..... GROUND! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
