I’m gonna have to get it rebuilt. It just turns too slow. I put on cheap jumper cables from a 12 bolt and it still wasn’t fast enough. I undid the ignition wire and jumper Ed it to the 6 volt battery and then put a 12 volt battery to the starter and it starts but still doesn’t crank very fast. I pulled the starter and blew it out. It liooks nice and clean. I wire brushed where it bolts to the tractor and wire brushes the bell housing where it bolts up. I removed the battery box and cleaned and wire brushed the mounts and where it bolts up. Brand new battery and brand new cables. |

Steve I was hoping you’d see this. I have it up for sale and a couple guys very interested. I’ll have to explain the situation to them. Can you PM me a price and a guess on the shipping to North West Arkansas? I was concerned that parts may be hard to come by these days? |

Check the ring gear to make sure it isn't worn. With new gears on a rebuilt starter, a worn ring gear will wear down those starter gears pretty quick! ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| You stated you put on new Cables. Reminder..... Those cables need to be as thick as Goucho's Cigar. |

I also used different cables to run a 12 volt battery to it. It still turned slow. |

The teeth appeared good when I had the starter out. I even felt the back side to feel for any bad spots I couldn’t see. |
