I just acquired an A that has had a starter issue and has been cranked with the hand crank for a while. While turning the engine over with the crank (still on the trailer), I noticed the right rear wheel was turning backwards as I turned the crank which made me think it was in gear... Pressing the clutch relieved the pressure off the chain as the tractor rolled back forward slightly. Checked the shifter and it wasn't in gear... The previous owner said he never had a problem with it staying in gear, but I can't figure out what could be wrong and can't find any similar issues posted on here. As far as the starter, the previous owner said it would spin, but not engage the flywheel. I took it off and the bushing (?) at the end of the shaft was loose and I noticed the shaft was threaded at the end. It seems that the "starter gear"? would spin up too far and disengage from the shaft because the bushing wasn't screwed down on the shaft. I screwed it down hand tight and hit it with the jumper cables and it seemed to work right then, but I'm not sure if thats a real fix or not. I'm about to start restoring this tractor including renewing the diff/axle seals, brakes as well as trying to tighten up the terribly loose steering. Any advise or links would be greatly appreciated.
