    The assembly of the lawn mower could be done without any problems ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend I just puzzled something about the red strange “key”. However, it quickly turned out that this creates a kind of contact bridge between battery packs and lawn mowers. An additional backup as a father of a 1 year old nephew is great!! :-)

    Thanks for the fair warning on the C clip flying off. I held the starter in a box and popped the C clip off and it stayed in the box. Seeing the difficulty you had putting the C clip back on I put the starter vertical and laid the C Clip on the shaft, then took a 10MM socked on top of the C clip and with one tap of the hammer it was on.

    Thank you for this video. While it was a real pain in the you know what, I did replace the gear on my starter today. Thanks to you. You ain't kidding that the dang C-clip removal and then subsequent re-installation is a royal pain. But with a bit of perseverance and your guidance, I was able to do it, re-install my starter and get my mower running today, just in time to put it away for the winter. Thanks so much!

    Thanks for the warning about the C clip. Cut up a beer carton to make a contained area for the attempt. Grease on top and grabbed a 9mm ring spanner. Sat the spanner on top shaft with the C clip on it and gave it a hit with the hammer. Popped on first time no worries....couldn't believe it.

    I looked at about 3 other videos on replacing a starter--one pushed the expensive Briggs & Stratton pin remover. Which is at least $73! Well, I was determined not to buy it. So I tried just about all other removal methods and odd tools. I struggled. I even used an awl (ice pick): only to pick my hand 4 times!
    And then I saw your video--slowly take 2 flathead screwdrivers...EVEN I COULD REMOVE THE STUBBORN C-PIN THIS WAY! Thanks so much for keeping it simple!

    Good video. To get the C clip back on, I set it on top of the shaft & use a 7/16 deep well socket & a small hammer to set it down into the groove. It works slightly similar to the tool they make for it.

    I set the starter in a vice (made sure to secure using the mounting bracket, not the starter housing so it wouldn't crush the unit) and a closed 3/8 wrench end on top of the C clip. Whacked it down and she was pretty much set. Thanks for the helpful video to get me and eventual the tractor started!!!

    Thanks so much for making this video and sharing it. I've been working on one of my cub cadets on and off for about four days trying o figure out how to repair the starter gear. Biggest problem was getting yo the you bolt attaching the starter to the engine. It was almost impossible to get to. I gab yo grind down a 13mm socket to make it small enough to get into the very small space surrounding the bolt. Once that was done, I was able O get the starter out and on a bench where your video showed me how to drive out the roll pin. Piece of cake thanks to your help!!

    • @fnaguitarplayer9
      @fnaguitarplayer9  8 років тому +3

  • @pigskins87
    @pigskins87 11 років тому +1

    I found it, that helped somewhat. I was able to get the flywheel cover off, after about 20 bolts. The starter is bolted to the engine through the top (2 bolts) and 1 bolt was easy to get to, the other is under the flywheel. However when I got the cover off and tried to start I could see that the drive gear was stuck in the down position and not engaging the flywheel! A tap and a dousing of WD40 seemed to do the trick for now, the gear itself looks like it's still in good shape. Thanks again!

    I'm glad that I saw this. With the arrival of colder weather the starter gear on my pretty new Briggs and Stratton powered lawnmower stopped engaging the ring gear. There is a small possibility that the plastic gear might be damaged but I think it's just stuck in the down position. Removal and inspection is going to be necessary. If WD-40 can help matters I'll be very happy.

    After watching your video I replaced the parts of the new starter with the old starter parts( Metal) because the new starter lasted 7 starts and plastic gears got tore up I guess because there was no lubricant on them, I also used the socket idea for installing the clip and it worked great!

  • @f355911tt
    @f355911tt 10 років тому

    I am glad I found this as most people think their starter is bad because the engine won't turn over, going clunk, and it is really that their engine is full of gas from a faulty shut off solenoid at the carburetor, or their valves are severely out of adjustment creating too much compression. Key on, valve is supposed to open allowing fuel, key off it is supposed to close. It can get gummed up and allow fuel past when in off position filling crank case, or you left key on and it filled. This motor is notorious for this and a manual in line shut off between tank and carb is essential to prevent gas in your oil. I am sure many shops have ripped off many customers by charging them for expensive repairs when it was gas in their oil. My suggestion to most if repairing the starter and the starter gear looks fine, would be to bypass the snap ring removal as most only needed to inspect the brushes and sand the commutator. Remove rear 2 bolts and slide internal brush pack out, then pull the entire assembly out from the other end. Sand commutator, inspect brushes, and grease rear shaft. You can avoid the grease suction problem by rotating shaft at starter gear back and forth while applying pressure to back plate. The trick to keeping the brushes in upon reassembly is iron wire cut in two pieces shaped like a horse shoe. They criss cross each other at center as one holds in two brushes and the other does same. Top wire must be 2" longer as it sits higher to clear lower wire holding other two brushes at 3 and 9 oclock, longer wire holds brushes at 12 and 6 oclock. Works perfect and slide back plate in, wires should stay as long as they are flush against brushes. Then pull them out and it makes replacing brush pack easy.

    • @fnaguitarplayer9
      @fnaguitarplayer9  10 років тому

      That is very true, or oil got into the cylinder from being tilted the wrong way or something like that. yeah, on OHV motors, its almost always the valves out of adjustment making it hard to crank over, they have a compression release on the camshaft, some of the older L Head / flathead motors have a release as well.

    Don't forget to check bolt tightness, there has to be a lockwasher on each bolt otherwise they bottom in the hole and leave a dangling starter motor that strips threads faster. Chk starter frequently for looseness/wobbly install (loose or bottomed bolts). 2. U can use 9mm or 5/16 socket & hammer to tap the snap ring back in. 3. One guy showed how by turning the flywheel (battery disconnected) by hand he can get the pinion gear off & one without taking starter or flywheel off. Another guy showed how he with hand grinder, ground off about 3-4" length of top side of flywheel (don't get into the flywheel teeth) to make more room to get pinion gear off easier removal again w/o taking starter or flywheel off. Good video, thanks.

To put the c clip back on - I put the clip over the top of the shaft and then put the 3/8 socket on top of it and hit it a couple times with a hammer to knock the c clip back in place.

Instead of putting the Pinion Gear the first in line on the Bendix Drive I put if on last keeping it engaged to the flywheel, but keep thinking about not being right. But I don't feel bad cause an experienced Tech got it backwards as well. I'm hoping the tech just didn't know and not trying to sell me a new Flywheel. Watched your video and got it straight.

    Turned out I had to go to a completely different type of OUTSIDE Snap Ring. I just could not get the required ring in. And I was not about to buy a tool for over $40.00 that I would use just this one time.
    Good info on the Chamfered side up (for the pinion). Mine was not labeled in any way, but I deduced that the chamfered side would engage the Ring Gear a lot easier than the "flat" side, just like a car's starter pinion.
    Sure appreciate you folks who take the time to make these videos. Have done lots of these things many years ago and then forgot after not having done "whatever" again for 50 years or so.
    I understand that when WD-40 (so named 'cuz it took its inventor 40 tries to come up with the formula) sold many years ago the new owners significantly raised the water content in it. No idea if this is true or just Camel Poop, but Blaster works just fine for me. Thank you.

    I just finished rebuilding my B&S starter motor.....the kind with that damn circlip. After watching this and other videos, I noticed that they conveniently pause at the point of showing how to install the clip.........and then restart once the clip is on. Well, I figured out a way to do it in less than 1 minute and it doesn't use a deep socket. Start one end of the clip in the motor shaft groove and then use a large pair of channel lock pliers to pinch the other end into the groove. Finish the job with a pin punch, screw driver, etc to fully seat the clip. Easy peasy!! Maybe I'll post the video.

    I needed to see the order for the pats to go on. My old one flew apart, which is why I need to replace it. I do know an easier way to get that C ring back on, though. If you have a deep socket, that's best. Just use a socket which barely fits over the shaft on the starter - I THINK it's 3/8, maybe a 7/16 though. Place the ring on the tapered end of the shaft, put the socket over it, and dive it down until it snaps in place.
    EDIT: Finally fixing mine, and found a 10mm works great. I used a deep 10mm socket to drive it into place. If yu are having trouble getting the ring back on, you might wanna give it a try.
    When removing snap rings, if you can (or if you have a friend around to do this), hold a screwdriver against the end of the shaft when you take it off. When it pops off, it is trapped on the shaft of the screwdriver. Beats sweeping the area with a magnet. Yep, been there a few times...

      Well as it turned out when doing the job the two bolts on the starter were loose and the starter twisted to the side causing the gear to split in two. The engine had just been replaced at the shop and someone was sloppy and either didn't tighten the bolts to proper torque and didn't use thread lock on it. So that was the reason why it happened. As the old saying goes "If you want something done right , do it yourself." :-)

    Thanks, 1983 Murray still running strong after rehab, rewire, clean out, 12.5HP I/C (industrial / Commercial) B&S 42" cut; why not a new J.Deere, well those are now all plastic which cracks apart in just 5 yrs, this 1983 Murray is ALL metal and can take the occasional impact with bushes, we love it, so we rehab'd it. I wax it once a week with yellow spray wax. BTW: I might have chosen a socket exactly the diameter of the c ring/clip to tap it down.

    Looks like you use it properly. On grass only. I just finished a customers AYP (Sears) rider. He uses it in fields. Blades were rounded bad, deck crammed w/weeds, etc; belt worn and loose. I sharpened, replaced/adjusted belt...I know he's gonna whine (he's a whiner customer) because I replaced the belt less than a year ago. This time I'm gonna tell him, "These are riding LAWN mowers, not field and brush mowers." No warranty, etc.
    Most people THRASH riding mowers. You don't, obviously.
    Thanks.

    Well, you make driving that pin out look so easy. The roll pin in my starter must be welded in. I pounded and pounded and it does not budge. Penetrating oil and all. I ended up breaking one of the plastic pieces. Life is too short.

    TIP: The end of the shaft is tapered so the ring can be driven in with a 1/2" socket and hammer. Support the back end of the starter to avoid armature damage.

  • @fnaguitarplayer9
    @fnaguitarplayer9  11 років тому

    yeah either starter would work as long as the gear is the same, some newer mowers use a metal gear on the starter. But you may want to fix the starter before buying a new one, a whining sound usually means a bearing is spinning or maybe just a bad gear, i have another video on rebuilding one of these you might want to try that first. If you do need a new starter go to tulsa engine warehouse and get a aftermarket for like 30 bucks! Thanks for watching!!!

    🙋🏻‍♂️👍🏻 3-25-2023…… I notice that the shaft as to where the C clip fits is flat top cone. So it’s possible that the C clip could be placed centered over that , and use a small socket and tap it on until it pops in place. And using grease would allow ease of fit.
    But I never removed one or reattached the C clip , so it’s just a thought. ( Definitely have something close to catch that CLIP if not in a shop ) . 😍 Just took the C clip off, and I was very careful to have my hand over that area to catch it. There’s a slot in the edge of that top washer that contains the C clip. Well, I used a flat screwdriver of that width, which enabled the removal of the C clip much easier. Just turned that top washer until C clip came off, NOT flying across the room. Also, I selected Subscribe ❣️❣️

  • @fnaguitarplayer9

    i've never damaged a started by doing this. this is just one way you can do it. not the best but it works. if you don't spray oil on it the parts won't work freely and can lock up and cause damage to the starter.

  • @fnaguitarplayer9
    @fnaguitarplayer9  13 років тому

    @Bobbymitchell10 yeah i do to. there a pain. my twin has the c clip too, only had to replace the gear once, because the c clip came loose and it just shredded the gear haha the replacement i buy (from tewarehouse) is a actual clip, the factory ones looks just like a piece of bent wire haha i wander if a snap ring (type used with snap ring pliers) would work on one, i'd think they would be to thin. thanks for watching!

  • @fnaguitarplayer9
    @fnaguitarplayer9  13 років тому

    @1899lpv yes. on the older style like this, the gear on the starter is plastic and the gear on the flywheel is either plastic or aluminum. On the newer engines the gear on the starter is steel and so is the flywheel gear. thanks for watching!

  • @fnaguitarplayer9
    @fnaguitarplayer9  13 років тому

    @Bobbymitchell10 yeah they can be a pain. the way i do is just buy the whole end cap and replace it, it comes with brush holders. check out my newest video (still processing right now, should be up afterwhile)

  • @fnaguitarplayer9
    @fnaguitarplayer9  11 років тому

    You can replace either type with the other, thats the only difference is how the gear system is connected to the shaft, but the part # for that type of starter is: 693054 for the smaller housing and 499521 for the longer housing one (either are interchangable) i'll pm you with a link with aftermarket replacements thanks for watching!!!

  • @dans4270
    @dans4270 4 роки тому +1

    I took ths guts out of one and replaced it with the other. Only thing I had to do was pop the flange out of the bottom because the shaft was larger. It's not what you're supposed to do but it works.

    When reinstalling the c clip use a socket that will just fit down over the shaft.place the c clip on top of the shaf tthen tap it down over using the socket.Then squeeze it with your pliers or vice grips to insure its tight.
    Thats the way i do em anyway.
    And yes i keep spare clips in the shop because they will fly when removing...sometimes never to be found.I found pointing the shaft at a ice cream container or bucket
    works well for trapping the clip.

  • @fnaguitarplayer9
    @fnaguitarplayer9  13 років тому

    @V8Mike93 yeah replacing the starter gear ain't a repair that is done very often. especially on the newer briggs that have a metal gear, they seem to hold up pretty good. but i prefer a plastic starter gear haha thanks for watching man

  • @fnaguitarplayer9
    @fnaguitarplayer9  12 років тому

    everyone does things there own way. My mowers are well taken care of, like you say alot of people cut fields with them, i always clean and wax my mower everytime i get done with the grass. Thats another thing too, all the dirt gets blown in past the cooling fins and burns motors up. I know what you mean about it being a dust collector, but to be honest i've never seen any dirt on mine, and i don't even have the starter gear cover on.

  • @Outdoorsman351
    @Outdoorsman351 12 років тому

    I actually just got one like that today! But its already on and waiting to be tested. I had the other style on there, but someone hit it one too many times with a hammer to make it work :D So I got a different one off a 14 horse. hopefully cranks harder! Thanks. Ill sub!

  • @fnaguitarplayer9
    @fnaguitarplayer9  11 років тому

    no problem! I actually did a video showing how to remove and reinstall the starter, look through my videos for that. Must be a twin cylinder, the starters on them are slightly different than these, but its the same procedure replacing the gear. thanks for watching!

    I find on the C clip style it is much easier to get the clip off if you put the depressed slot on the metal retainer 180 degrees opposite the open end of the C clip. I use a little Stihl screwdriver to get the clip up and then put a larger wider flat tip screwdriver to finish the job.. Lay a rag on top and work under the rag. to put the clip back on I use a piece of tubing that just fits over the starter shaft and give it a pop with a hammer. Snaps right on.
