I have a Terrimite T5 backhoe with a B&S 18 HP 2cyl opposed engine. I was using it this week and the starter drive went bad. It has a hydrastat transmission so it was a pain to get it into the shop to repair. I had to remove the fuel tank, grill, engine , and engine shroud to get to the starter. I replaced the bendix with a new one and put it all back together. It started up fine, so I finished putting it all back again. After I finished I started it up and it started fine but it is cold natured and cut off. I restarted it and it cut off again. Then the starter drive went out again. The gear on the drive just disintagrated, just like the origional. Now I have to repete the whole process again, but don't want to make a habit of it. My question is there something I'm missing. could the starter itself be bad or maybe the flywheel? The ring gear looks fine and the compression release seems to be working correctly as the engine spins freely by hand. Also the starter itself sounds odd. It almost sounds like a gear drive starter, but I don't have another 2 cyl opposed to compare the sound to. Can anyone help? Thanks, Nat

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
