Need a little help. I have a Case 580E Backhoe and believe I to replace the starter motor. My battery reads 12.7 to 14.1 VDC and the solenoid clicks…but no initiation of the starter motor. My backhoe has a diesel engine. Looks like the Starter Assembly is a two part assembly with the top section fitting into and against the fly wheel. The bottom section is the actual motor. I believe it is this motor which has failed, but the top section which contains the solenoid looks old too. Looking inside the motor, the insulation on the internal leads has completely fallen off and the spring loaded brushes are pretty much stuck in place with little spring action. I think it is time to replace the motor…and perhaps the entire assembly. What are your thoughts on replacing just the motor or the entire assembly? And I sure could use some part numbers! Thanks an awful lot for your help! Doug in NJ
