I have a Model D grader with a WD engine. The starter will occasionally make just a click sound when I push it. When I tap the starter with a hammer it works fine. Steiner has parts for it: Model #: 1107962. They have: Starter Drive (Bendix), Starter Drive Assembly that includes the Armature, Starter Drive Spring only, and the Starter Brush and Bushing kit. Anyone know which it most likely needs, or should I go with the Starter Drive Assembly Kit and Brush & Bushing Kit to get everything covered? |

First thing I'd do would be to examine the solenoid. Look for bad connections and corrosion... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

If it does nothing unless tapped - i would say brushes are not making good contact - Evidently the solonoid is not mounted on starter like a car type starter where solonoind pulls in starter drive ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel. |

| That is correct, the solenoid is not mounted on the starter. When down there the next time I will pull the starter and perform the steps that have been suggested, especially replace the brushes. Thanks to you all. |
