Before replacing starter, I would strongly suggest checking ground and power wires to things, from battery to starter to fuse box

as if there is any corrosion, it can cause low voltage issues!

and as for starters, I know there are tons of them out there, from cheaper China one's or OEM's ones

I will NOT use a china one again, I bought 2 trying them, trying to save a few bucks , over OEM< and ended up buying an OEM one any ways
wasted my $$$ on the cheaper ones that didn;'t work long or well from day one

E bay, AMAZON and likes all sell cheaper one's if you want to gamble!

SO< if you WANT my suggestion on a starter
BUY OEM
want to where to buy one, I suggest , Messick's https://www.messicks.com/

and a link to your machines parts

I would do a search and see if there is a good alt,starter repair place close enought to you,check their reviews and make a judgement call. Unfortuanly these places are getting hard to find. If you can find one take it there and get their opinion if it is rebuildable. I have had to buy a cheap knock off because I needed the machine ,but had the old one rebuilt if possible and put it on the shelf ,in case the cheap one pukes .

I'm going to add this, just so folks can get an idea

I took My old original starter to a local shop to have rebuilt, THINKING< I would then have a good spare
and should;t cost too much to do so, going off the past when I did this,as over my life time I had man rebuild , did do this from the get go, due to when the first one died I was in a rush , second same deal, and third one again, needed machine more than had time to have rebuilt!


well

was I WRONG<
the local shop I used charged me almost as much as a brand new starter

it was cheaper, yes, but only by like $25 bucks, not much of a savings, and took them 3 weeks to get it done!
I had starter same day as dealer stocked them! down time costs $$ some times, so, each person has to decide whats best for them!

so, before having your starter rebuilt ,
, get a price and time frame on job, to see whats better for you!
if you go down this road!


I OK with NOW having a spare,as older machines are getting harder to get parts for, but I didn;t really save any $$ getting rebuilt over just buying a new one again!


on a extra note, I also had my old alt rebuilt to have now as a spare, and that too wasn't much cheaper than buying a new one!(different shop too) seems, since covid, everything is high and staying high!, yrs back rebuilds were tons cheaper!
food for thought!
 
Thanks everyone but mrbb it is a alternator not a starter but anyway i already cleaned all connections from the alternator and starter just to make sure not the green puss didn't find anything very clean for the age of the unit i also had the alternator tested only puting out 9.0 volts and 16amps it is done but thanks for the information for a starter

, and some other food for thought
when replacing the alt, its a good time to inspect all the pulley's and belt, and replace if needed
 
I still like the idea of having some spare parts on the shelf. If a person got one rebuilt or even bought one new, pre covid, it would be a substantial savings over buying one now. Also with some parts such as with my New Holland haybine, you cannot find them anywhere, without buying a whole parts machine.
 
No reply but a problem on my 1995 LX 885 NH
The 12 cautionary/advisory lights and fuel gauge light simultaneously light BUT will not turn OFF.
So I have lost all readings.
Tough because my normal operating at 1,800 rpm is not seen and I rely on sound memory.

I'd suggest starting a new thread with your issue to not pollute this one!
