Hello All!
First off, Merry Christmas to everyone!
Secondly, while home with the family I was hoping to take care of some minor issues with my M, and another pretty major one came up, which is that it wouldnt start. I replaced a bad cable end, and also put the battery on a charger. After nothing, I had the battery tested (its still good) and checked my switches and wires, all is well.
I finally pulled the starter off the tractor and pulled things apart. It turns out that one of the leads that connects to the positive "post" in the starter casing burned up, and is no longer connected. It looks like I have to replace that post, as well as the connection to it from the coil.
So I have a few questions for any of you out there who have had the chance to work on these starters before. Where is the best place to get the parts Im going to need? I have the list with the Delco-Remy numbers (from the IH parts book) and Ill head to my NAPA tomorrow in the morning. But should I look somewhere else?
Also, only one of the connections is bad in the starter casing, but it appears that all four of the coils that are attached to the casing are joined together. Do I need to change all 4 out? How would I do that if they are all connected?
Should I look to change anything else out while I have it apart? (The brushes are all in pretty good shape, and Ill polish up the armature while Im at it)
