Can you advise me how to remove a starter from an 8N. I have taken out the two long bolts and removed the end cap and main housing, but cannot get the armature with the bendix to clear the ring gear and bell housing. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks.

When your starter fails the bendix is still engaged to the flywheel gear. When the motor starts the bendix is spun back away from the flywheel. Thus it is far easyer to remove a starter from a motor that has run, and someone has not tried unsucsesfully tried to start. If you pull start the tractor it should be easyer to remove the starter.

Lyn--I copied/saved this info from another site that Bruce (VA) posted a few days ago. A starter rebuild is in the works for my 49 N. HTH. Check out the archives on this site, too--Good Luck--Tim

"Unscrew the bolts out of the block & put nuts on them. Otherwise, the starter comes apart. Not fatal, but not fun either. Then, loosen the two bolts holding the oil filter canister to the block, remove the dipstick, and keep the starter close to the block while pushing the front of it down and lifting the back up.

Sometimes you have to remove the drain petcock as well.The bendix is behind the flywheel; your job is to get it over the flywheel. It will come out!

Lastly, as others have said, grind out an egg shape at the 2 o'clock position before you put it back."
