The one bolt, yes a pain in the you know what.
Replaced my starter using Allen head bolts. God luck.

Use a 1/4" inch drive, 1/2" wiggly socket with the hex ground short just enough to capture the head of the bolt. A Craftsman socket works well for this.
When you go back together, use an allen head metriic bolt for easy access. |

I really wish I would have thought of this when I changed my starter

I don't know why Briggs didn't think of it. Maybe it was too simple.

Loose Nut behind the starter
Ok, so I am getting close to getting the bolt in question off of the starter. A set of 3' needle nose pliers, sheetrock, toothpaste and some Klennex wipes and I should have it.
And great ideas, I do plan to reassemble with allen head bolts. I decided to take another look at the starter to see if I could determine the problem. The teeth in the gear appear slightly worn but not bad, however, as the starter turns, the clutch seems to revolve within the gear like its not catching. Shaft turns but not the clutch or gear from what I can see. So....instead of rebuilding, I am thinking of just getting a new starter. Any advice on starters I should avoid? I see some new ones listed on Amazon and eBay for about $30 but not OEM and no brands I recognize. I would be happy to do business with a site sponsor or supporter if available. Thanks! |

You can buy a starter drive kit like this one.

Lessons Learned
OK so it's been a couple of weeks so as a refresher I have been removing a starter from my 1641. Finally got it off. In the highly unlikely event that any one experiences the same problem, the fix for the the top bolt removal for me involved taking a 13mm socket and cutting off the business end until only about 1/8" of the socket grips the bolt head. It was harder that it sounds but worked.
In the process of replacing the starter I noticed another issue that I wanted to bring to everyone's attention. There are a set of wires and associated connections that come from behind the firewall to the regulator. One wire was frayed with only a few strands holding it together. (See picture) I spliced the connection (I was out of end to end splice connections and didn't want to drive 45 minutes) using a female and male connection. (See picture) Problem is that this set of wires runs behind the starter. This type of connection created a bit of an issue, however, I finally got the wire situated and the starter installed. I tested the old starter vs. the new and the old is much weaker. I doubt the frayed wire played into the problem but who cares at this point. Charging the battery now and will let you know when I cross the finish line. Thanks for your input. |

Those 2 wires are from the stator, the yellow plug goes to the voltage regulator. You should inspect the teeth on the ring gear while you have the starter out just to make sure they are all good.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
