ym1500 starter

[rccktmn2-HT]

Does anyone know of any high torque starters for the ym 1500s. I've done some research and I came up with a hitachi starter s114-230, just needing some verification if this will work or has anyone tried it. Most of the information I found gave a couple different starters. Just looking at options to replace mine. Thanks.

Yea I've got one of their older model starters which looks to be the same physical thing they have now, I was just wondering if there were any alternatives to starters such as a gear reduction or if anyone has tried anything with other starters. During this winter I noticed in the -40 wind chill we had even in the barn and plugged in the tractor was very slow to crank, so I put a couple batteries in series to get it cranking faster. The starter isn't hurt but that got me to thinking if anyone has a gear reduction starter.

Any diesel will crank slowly in the extreme cold -- which is the reason for using starting aids like the decompression control.

Don't be in a hurry to blame the starter. In 1985, my tractor was 5 years old and I didn't know which end of the wrench you were supposed to hammer with. The cranking was wonky so I spent days removing the starter to take it to an auto-electric shop. After I put the heavy thing back in, same problem. This time only took me one day. On pickup, the electric guy said, "That starter worked perfectly the first time you brought it in, and it still does." So I had a tractor shop come. They returned the tractor an hour later. No charge except for pickup and delivery. Something was loose, nothing to do with the starter -- which still works perfectly after 5000 hours.
