Was having issues with the bendix / pinion gear engaging and got the starter rebuilt. There were some problems: plunger / worn contacts replaced and lubed. Ran great on the bench. Installed the starter and it started right up several times. Now it's back to its old tricks again of not engaging the ring gear but I think I'm on to something as an issue. Since I rebuilt the machine is has just been run for very short times ( or my conclusion on this problem. My only way to charge the battery is one of these small wall trickle chargers. As another test I will try to start cold on jumpers cables connected to the battery and/or starter directly. I tried this when I first had the problem before the rebuild and it made no difference. Sad footnote to all this is I'm having to try sell the loader without really getting to use it since I lost my job in October. Having no luck with CraigsList but I know my price is a little high and the economy is not helping. eBay also looks dead. Thanks, Fred</p></blockquote><p></p>
