Starter

[69stang]

Does anyone know where a guy can find a starter like this. It's off a TD9 series B probably mid 60's

If I am reading the Delco number correctly (1113626), GOOGLE shows many sources for a replacement.

On the other hand, what's wrong with yours, they are not hard to repair IF the main parts are reusable.

The selinoid does not move. The selinoid is attached to a shifting fork that moves the gear.

Remove the solenoid and see if the plunger and linkage to move the drive work easily by hand. If so, you can get a replacement solenoid. You did check to see that the solenoid was getting power when you pushed the starter button, or turned the key to start before you pulled the starter, didn't you?

Once you find out that the solenoid plunger or mechanism is not physically stuck it could be an electrical problem in the solenoid, or the starter itself cold be ''open''.

There are two windings in the solenoid, the ''pull in'' winding and the ''hold'' winding.

If the starter itself is not drawing current the pull in winding can't work.

If the solenoid itself has failed, you can have a local auto parts store cross one of the Delco numbers below to the brand of solenoid they sell, 1115510 1115540 1115582 D954 D959 D970 D971 D980 D985.

The starter just dont give up , hook up booster cables to the starter terminal and ground and the starter should motor along. If so u need a solenoid. Plus u can remove that plastic cover and clean them terminals up or at least confirm your problem. Them solenoids are easy to get. Take old one in for sample that helps.

Take the starter to the auto eletric shop and have them repair it for you.

Pretty common Delco starter used across the board in lot of IH tractors. but like every body says just fix that one. Where are you located, I would be glad to take a look if you are around Tennessee

Not sure what part of the country you are in but Delco remy part number appears to be good. My local truck parts supplier is a dealer for them and the new ones can be had fairly cheaply. If you arent going to rebuild like the rest said and just want three bolts and done...Ill try posting the name they shouldnt be a direct competitor to anything ag related...Midwest wheel companies

Napa would be my suggestion.

Thanks for the report back.

I'm curious, tho, what all did you have to do to repair it?

Solenoid was stuck. It needed a good cleaning to free it up.

No $$$ fixes are the best!
