2-105 Gear Reduction Starter

[21hunter]

Looks like the starter in my 2-105 is getting pretty tired. Has anyone ever used an aftermarket gear reduction starter? Doesn't look like YT has any but there are a bunch on eBay and they look like a Delco 28MT knockoff. Delco says the 28MT is good for up to a 6.5 liter engine, doesn't say if it's Diesel or not.
Thanks

I put one on the 1655 diesel from either Amazon or eBay. Worked great.

I'm running one on a S88 diesel from Maple Springs Farms and it works real well.

Okay thanks. I want to install a new battery too. Would these starters draw enough less amps to run off an 850 CCA battery?

I ran a single group 31 950 CCA with no issues whatsoever.

I should also add that good, clean, solid connections and cables are almost as important. Dirty, oily, and frayed cables and connectors are tools of the devil.

I use one on my 1750. Starts much easier than the stock starter.

Go with the gear reduction maple springs farm starter, Amazon doesn't support your farm economy.

I put a Maple Springs starter in my 1750 and it is amazingly better than the stock. Of course I had to track down the faulty ground cable that caused the problem in the first place. Highly recommended

Most farmers I know would use the $$ saved on the starter to invest back into their own farm, especially these days. To each their own.

However I would like to see a side by side teardown of a Maple Springs and an Amazon starter. Mine looked exactly like the Maple Springs. I would be surprised if there's a lick of difference.
