Starter Price for 1210
 

Last week was a rough week for me and the ole 1210. After having the engine oil dipstick blow out twice, which has since been fixed, I thank a kinked breather tube for that one, the starter seems to not engage the engine. When I crank the tractor, I can hear the starter spin but not engage. I am going to tear into it this week and look to see what is happening. If I did have to get a new starter, what would that run me? I saw one online for 200 bucks.

Clean and lube the bendix drive. BTDT Did you check the crankcase breather as I suggested? :bigthink:

HAHA I sure did. I was going to get on and tell you about it but left that next morning on vacation. The breather filter was fine. but somehow there was a kink in the breather tube. Once I got the kink out and placed the end of it properly in the air filter housing again, I had no problems. It is just my luck that the starter started acting up on that same day. I am slowly starting to figure out my way around this machine thanks to you and other here at OCC.

Thanks Sam the mower is fixed and strong as ever. I managed to find a manual on the engine and starter. Wish I would have found that first. I should have followed the manual a little closer. I guess when the manual says hold the cap and the starter together, they really mean hold them together. Took some fan dangling to get the brushes back seated properly but I got it. Thanks again!
