ya i clicked the wrong picture on my phone:booboo:...these phones are tough to use after you have learned your lesson on how to use a hammer a few times:mad2:, i think i am pressing one thing and it clicks two or something i wasn't wanting:wallbanging:... anyway... i was making my bi-weekly trip to TX and flying out of Omaha when the flooding was really bad down by the river.

there is a spacer bearing that goes on the front shaft for the PTO that i do not remember when it goes on??? any help on the why the PTO goes together would be great...someone did tell me to take pictures but the one i need i didn't get:sensored:
this was the picture that was suposed to be in place of the one that is of the flooding.

ISSUE!!!!

Need some help. Got everything hooked back up and turned the key but all it will do is click. pos side battery cabel gets really hot. starter will not engage. Startor was doing fine before the teardown.

Try turning the engine to make sure the starter is not jammed into the flywheel. If no luck pull starter and bench test.

The fact that the wire is getting hot means you are getting power to the motor. It may be jammed or for whatever reason the starter may not have enough power to turn the motor over. Assuming the motor is free to turn over then the starter may need work. You could try removing the plugs and seeing if it will spin without compression. You could easily damage the starter if it is jammed, so don't put power on it for longer than you need to. Good luck

Could the cable from the solenoid to the starter have gotten pinched, grounding out the current? That would explain the hot cable & no starter action.

i will check when i get home tonight. thanks for the tips will update in the am.

[Deere Green]

startor must be shot. did dirrect power to it on and off the block to make sure there was not a short in the wiring somewhere. on the ground it will spark but not turn. tore the thing apart and realized i had no idea what the heck i was doing so i spent 30 min trying to get the thing back together but the freakn brushes kept popping out but finally got it and i am just going to go buy a new one i guess. what the heck, the thing was working fine before i tore the motor down.

[Deere Green]

anyone have a used startor they wanna sell?

[olcowhand]

I think I have a starter off a Kohler MV20 Magnum. Post a pic of yours with dimensions & I'll compare.
