[AT] Starter Gear Sticking On Shaft

[john hall]

John Deere used to (and may still) sell a lubricant with either Teflon or 
silicone added. It worked great on sticky lawn mower starters---but it was 
not a permanent fix, it would only seem to last a couple months. I would 
think silicone spray would work just as well, especially if you got some of 
the industrial grade stuff made for injection molding machines.
