I have an IH 504, gas engine. The starter motor has started to not engage, making that awful racket when hiting the ignition. How serious is this, and how do I fix it. Do I need a whole new starter, or is it just a problem with the solenoid. Where can I get the starter repaired?

Also, the generator has started making noise, and is binding sometimes. Does anyone know where I can have it reworked? Someone told me to just replace it with an alternator. Will that work OK without causing problems.

Thanks for any help.

If you are lucky the problem is simply a worn out bendix/pinion gear assembly on the starter. A new bendix will run about $40 or so. However it could also be worn teeth on the flywheel ring gear which will require splitting the tractor to repair.

Suggest removing the starter to inspect both the bendix and the flywheel ring gear teeth.

Regarding the generator it sounds like the bearings are worn out. Suggest taking it to your local starter/alternator shop. They should be able to make it good as new at less cost than converting to an alternator. And take your starter along when you go - they can quickly verify the problem with that too!
