My Dad"s 1943 H starter just quit working (sounded like a pop). I have 6.55 volts to the post on the starter (there is no relay....should there be one?). I don"t have a book to tell me how to remove the starter, or how things should be when I get it out. I want to restore it for my Dad, but I want to get everything working first.

THANKS! Mark

You said sounded like a pop. That to me would mean loose or corroded connection. Last pop I had was a batt cable that looked okay until cut open and was all white and powdery inside.

If you have a 6 volt system it can't be a stuck Bendix or the high current draw would be dropping the voltage below 5 volts. Assuming you have the factory 6 volt system you have an open inside the starter, a bad connection between starter and bellhousing, or a bad connection on either or both ends of the ground cable.

The Bendix might be stuck. Remove the two bolts holding the starter in with a 3/4" wrench and check it out. It your 1943 H has the original button style starter switch, there will be no relay.

prolly the bendix got stuck out on the starter. pretty common. couple ways to do it. 1, with ignition off, put tractor in 5th and rock the back wheel just enough to get the motor to turn a little, ooorr... leave it in neutral and ignition off, turn the fan a little to get the motor to turn , that may be enough to release the bendix, then try starter again. if that doesnt work, there are two big bolts that hold the starter to the block, loosen them some wiggle starter, put back in, tighten up, and try again. if you need to remove the starter all the way, take those two bolts out, and remove battery cable to slide the starter out.
