D12 Starter

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi folks, new guy here to the forum. Just recently purchased an old D12 AC with a backhoe attachment. Its been a fun introduction to older machines for my wife and I - positive ground was an interesting thing at first. We have done many different things to get it running.  Right now I think I may be having starter issues. With a full charged battery, that has been recently tested at the parts store, it cranks over real slow like. As if the battery was dead. Was looking around for a newer or rebuilt starter, but they are outrageously priced. Then I thought about rebuilding, but can only find starter rebuild kits for other types of AC tractors, or I only find the bendix drives. I am pretty sure that I dont have the bendix anyhow, since I have a solenoid. Anyone else rebuild for a D12?

	You may have already checked this out but if not... Check the cables from the battery and especially the ground from the cable to the tractor. Quite often a problem. I'm not positive, but I think you do have a bendix on the starter shaft, could be wrong, just thinking the solenoid is just a power switch to keep the cable shorter. There are much more knowledgeable guys on here who can help you. Oh and Welcome to the forum!
