[Farmall] Starter probms

[Michael Dixon]

The A and 140 are equally susceptible to this problem. So one must assume 
that the B and C would be also. I no longer walk home for tools, I carry a 
wrench for the starter bolts with me. Loosening and wiggling the starter 
1/16" will permit the Bendix  to snap back, assuming that it is functioning 
correctly. I do disagree with the rocking FORWARD. That jams the 
starter/ring gear tighter. Highest gear, clutch engaged, push or tow it 
BACKWARD to release the jam.
