Bob: What you describe in your post is definately not what I am talking about. Several years ago I took both starters from my Super A and 130 to a rebuilder. When they left for rebuilding they both had the old Bendix starter drive. When they arrived back the drives were different. One was same as old drive while the other was quite different. I installed the starters, and the old type on Super A did not engage any better than when it left. It would start tractor, but not well. Sometimes it wouldn't engage while orther time it would just turn engine a bit and kick out. I switched starters and problem followed starter. In fact on 130 that starter would only grind on ring gear and as 130 had a new ring gear I was not about to allow that.

I phoned the rebuilder and discussed my problem with him. He advised when he did starters he only had one drive in stock and he picked up the other from the CaseIH dealer. I took both starters back, just to be sure which came from rebuilder and which came from CaseIH, Turns out the new type that worked well in both tractors came from CaseIH. We called CaseIH and they had another. Rebuilder started on starter and I went to CaseIH. The parts man at CaseIH whom I've dealt with for 35 years told me they don't even order the old type in anymore, that the new CLUTCH TYPE is far superior. I have to agree, I haven't had a bit of trouble since. There is definately no solinoid on this just the same old starter switch that Super A's, 100s and 130 have had for years. I had never been happy with the old type starter drive. So when I call this a clutch starter drive I am only repeating what a 40 year vetran IH parts man called it.

These new starter drives work very well also on tractors converted to 12 volt, they are smooth to engage. I will suggest one other item, I have been told lately these new starter drives we are getting are a made in Canada item. I am not certain the guy who told me this knew what he is talking about. I can tell you this from partaking on forums, there are items we are getting here in Canada that are different from items discussed on forums.
