Do a search on Google for 7000 series gear reduction starter. I did this to a 7060 and it may help you. Can't get it to pull up here for some reason. ------------- AC 6080 (8030,7060,200,175,D-17HC, 6040,160,6140 all gone) Farmall 1066 & 656 Hi-Clear (for sale), White 2-62 High Clearance, JD 4255 Hi Clear. |

| I recently done one on a 6080 with a newer high torque and thats the way to go, the rebuild on an old style is 3/4 the price of the new one- just my expirence, |

| Just put a new gear reduction one on two days ago from carroll implement here in north central Iowa. $530. Turned it over well and suppose to have more torque. A lot easier to put on also( bolt on block side of starter I could get a socket on the new one, not my old one). |

I put one on my Ford 555 backhoe last spring, it spins it over so fast it hardly has to run. Will see how it does in the cold but so far I'm very pleased with it. I found it on the internet, about $100. Hard to beat that price. |
