CASE SC STARTER

[Allen L.]

The starter on my Case SC spins and does not engage. I am told it is the bendix. Is that hard to fix? where can I get parts or another starter? Thanks in advance for your response. Allen

"PLEASE" don't call the starter drive a bendix.
There is a man in the neighbor hood that would go balstic if he heard some one call the starter drive a bendix.
Bendix is generic name for starter drive, such as bush-hog is generic for rotoray cutter.

You could have some bad flywheel ring gear teeth. Can you turn the engine a little and try it again? You can take it off and hook a battery to it and see if the drive gear spins.

I had to clean up the teeth on my flywheel with a file because I had it wired wrong and the generator was pushing back power in the starter drive after the engine was running causing the gear in the drive and the flywheel to touch.

It's a long way around that old flywheel through that starter hole with a little file but one tooth at a time got er done! Actually works good now, and it beat taking the entire ring gear or flywheel off.
I would do as someone mentioned--remove the starter put voltage from a battery to the starter on a bench, and see if the drive jumps up as it is suppose to. Inspect the flywheel teeth at this time and the starter drive teeth for abnormal wear...slim

A little rersearch finds that Bendix was a corporation that manufactued starter drives as well as other products. You could by a brand specific Bendix drive or drives mfgd by others.

Bendix is by no means generic but over time all starter drives began being refered to as Bendixes whether mfgd by Bendix or not.

They were a specific brand ..

There is no better brand advertizing than your trade name to become genericized. Then more than likely you will be specified and bought just by specifying the generic name which is also a brandname. Noted examples are kleenex, xerox and here in the south, coke (you southern guys will know what I am talking about). (<:
