My M has driven me nuts with the fuel problem, and I've finally gotten that taken care of and then the carburetor was acting up. Turns out it was the float so I got that all taken care of and now the starter won't grip the ring gear. It just grinds and grinds. It doesn't look like the ring gear is really that worn out and the starter is brand new!! Now I can't start this freaking thing without splitting the tractor and replacing the ring gear. I do not have the tools or time or knowledge of the tractor to replace the gear anyway. Then I thought wait. . . what about crank starting it. That would work, but I don't have a hand crank and the shaft that the crank attaches to is missing the pin that goes through it or whatever goes on it and not to mention the shaft is really really really hard to turn. I think that with a little bit of grease and penetrating fluid I could free it up and get it turning. For all I know the hand crank was never used. What parts am I missing though to get the crank working. All I have is the shaft sticking out with 2 wholes in it. I guess maybe something goes over that with a pin in it or something I don't know and also where can I locate these parts and the crank? I'm taking any suggestions on the ring gear or hand cranking it anything at all. The frustration is really getting to me!!
