I have been out of town for the last 2 weeks. I am finally back so here is an update on what is going on. I took the 12 volt custom built gear reduction starter to a local machine shop and they cut a new keyway in the shaft and machined a key to fit. I installed it on the tractor and with the ignition off the starter cranked the engine over VERY slow. I got the engine spinning the flipped on the ignition and bang, she kicked back and the starter would just free wheel. I pulled the starter back off and the gear inside the gear reduction was broke in half. Pulls are pretty much done around my area now and fall field work is starting so I am putting this project on hold until the snow flies.
I did do some checking and I was wrong the ignition is locked out. So I think the thing I need to do now is get a starter box to retard the timing and I am going to call a custom starter shop in Minnesota to see if they can find a new gear for the reduction starter.
