Starter dragging

Posted by Eds on February 13, 2008 at 12:56:35 from (70.130.245.107):

have a farmall 300 that needs some work. I just have not quite figured it out yet and it has not been a priority for me. I saw it setting outside and after looking for the owner for a couple years I found him and purchased the tractor. I got it running good but the starter drags on it. I have checked the starter out and even had it checked out and it still drags it will drag and draw high amps and get the wire hot when trying to start it. I put a pry bar on the fly wheel and the flywheel seems to not turn free enough. It runs very strong and everything operates as it should when it's running with no odd noises all the fluids look to be good. When the weather warms up a bit I will look at it a little closer I pulled the plugs on the engine and it still turns hard. From looking at the book I noticed a pto disconnect lever under the tractor that if I remember correctly engages a shaft that turns off the flywheel. I am going to disengage that lever which should disengage the pto. I am not sure but was thinking if the pto is not adjusted properly maybe it's causeing the drag. Any suggestions thanks Ed
