[Farmall] Starter Gear Sticking On Shaft

You might try some powdered graphite on the shaft. Seems to help on the Kohler twins that are known for that problem.

Subject: [Farmall] Starter Gear Sticking On Shaft


Good afternoon,
I was wondering if anyone else has any trouble with a starter gear
sticking" to the shaft, not allowing the gear to go forward and engage the
ing gear.  I have a new starter on the Super A, purchased about two years
go, used minimally like most restored tractors, and this issue keeps
appening predictably.
I have pulled the starter many times, and each time I have to knock the
ear lose with a punch and a hammer.  The gear is always stuck at the back
f the threaded shaft.  The shaft, or the gear, has no burrs to catch the
ear and hold it; burrs around that area was one of the first things I
hecked.
If you have had this issue on your starter, what have you done to keep this
rom happening?
Thanks,
en Wagner
