Farmall H flywheel

[Travis Tietjen]

I inheritd an H with a bad flywheel. The tractor runs like a top if you give it a pull but you cannot start it with the starter because the flywheel is all ground off.I belive you have to split the tractor to fix this correct? and if so can anybody tell me from experence the best and easiest way to do this. Thanks, Travis

the flywheel starter ring is replacebale, you dont need to junk the whole flywheel. steiners sell em for about 40.00 or so. you can either heat the old ring to remove it or break it with a chisel. heat the new ring a little to expand it and it drops right on.

Unless the ring gear is really ground off, a new starter drive and dressing the ring gear teeth with a file will get you going for a long time.
