1650 starter shot

[zippy1]

I checked with cub and bout' fell out of my chair. $350 and change.
Checked my CARQUEST and they can't get the correct one.
Napa wants like $223 something.
The Oregon aftermarket was only a 10 tooth, I need 13.
So I found this on evil pay. I FIGURED it can't be any good for that price. Have any of you tried these aftermarket starters? Think I may try one, but a little leery, your thoughts...

You can probably have yours rebuilt for the same money.
Just had one done a few weeks ago in Cedar Rapids, $51 and change.

Whats all wrong with it. Ive got brush kits off ebay for cheap and done quite a few in fact my 1000 is going on 3 years with ebay parts. My 1450 got them last winter and still working fine I might buy a setup to do my 1200 when I go through it this winter I personally think it should be alright for the price. I wouldnt expect it to last another 30 years but it outta be good for a few at least

I have done both, had mine rebuilt and bought new. IIRC, my rebuild was <$60.00.

I have bought two starters from these guys with much success.... Motor City Reman

The big thing on mine is the bendings won't return. Go to start the tractor and it get's to the flywheel and stops. And won't return.
Make sense? No!
I turn the key, the starter engages the flywheel and you hear......well you hear it engage the flywheel. Look at it and it's stuck against it. Take it off and it goes back to it's normal position.
I cleaned it up last week when it did it the first time and it worked one time. Did the same thing over the weekend and it didn't work so good. Took the starter apart and cleaned the com out with compressed air, and electric cleaner. Brushes looked to be down to that mark on them.
PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER, dab of oil on the shaft, works smooth, put it back on the tractor, same crap.
I've got a good electric motor place up here....

It almost sounds like an alignment problem, how do the teeth look on the Bendix and the flywheel?

Most excellent.

I thought this situation was unique to my 1450. I have an alignment problem on my 1450's starter and I cured it by adding some washers between the Starter mount and the engine block. Cured that problem.

Check this place out dbelectrical, I have bought several starters from them and they worked good.
