Hello Hombres: Did the 17 Series IV starter have shims between the starter flange and the bell housing as original equipment? Having a problem rolling the flywheel over with what appears to be a replacement starter. Starter was on the tractor when I bought it. Starter does not seems to what to engage. So am thinking there is an alignment issue.

Thanks in Advance-Orangeman

I have never seen that on any tractor. Have you pulled the starter and inspected the ring gear on the flywheel and the gear on the starter? Think I would make sure I had the correct starter for the tractor but also make sure that ring gear is okay or you'll just keep replacing starters and having problems.
