Starter for 666. Need Help Quick. September 26, 2013 12:34PM
I put a dt360 in my 656 farm tractor. Used a factory 666 rear engine plate and a new IH 666 flywheel for the 312 engine. Everything is together, and ready to run it, but my starter will not engage the ring gear. The starter that I bought turned out to be for a 686 gear drive tractor, and had a 10 tooth drive gear. When things didnt measure out, I called the company and questioned the application. They admitted that I would need a 12 tooth starter gear, and they made the appropriate changes for free. Installed the 12 tooth starter and still will not engage. What starter do I need? Again, it is a 656 chassis with a flywheel for a 666 tractor with the 312 engine. Thankyou for any help.

is the rear bottom of the starter resting on a bolt head?

if so remove bolt. or grind starter, or both.

Starter wouldnt clear bolt initially. Countersunk the bolt hole and used a flush headed bolt. Did a little grinding on the bottom of the starter. No interference. Tried a 10 tooth gear first. Didnt work. Tried a 12 tooth gear. Still wont engage. Just wondering what starter other guys have ran.
