That is why I am not too upset, equipment can always be replaced.
I was fighting with a lot of things today and got distracted, I know better.
I have the timing wheel looking real good now for the distributor, it only has about .001 runout, which is well within tolerance for the pickup coil. I have been fighting this starter for about a month, but do not want to put a new starter or drive on the bad ring gear. This starter really did a number on the ring gear. I changed the crappy looking starter out for the Threshers Reunion, and have had nothing but trouble with the spare one I painted. I have a spare flywheel and ring gear, so will put that on this winter when I fix the rear main seal leak. I will get a new starter then, so good ring gear and new starter should be good combination.
It is actually good that I am forced to put this away for the winter so I can get things ready for harvest. The dryer has a bad gas solenoid that needs replacing, and I have not inventoried the other issues.
I did look at the helical gear for the new hydraulic pump today. The pitch is correct so there is thrust on the pump, instead of trying to pull the gear off the shaft. I have to check the specs on the pump to see what the maximum thrust it will take. I will engineer a thrust bearing plate if it is not adequate. I did make a mistake on the flange for the pump. The hole is 3.5, and the pump is 3.25, so I will need to make a bushing for that. It is better too small than too big.
