Re: Installing Starter motor
Does the stump puller starter you speak off properly engage the bevel on flywheel teeth?

Re: Installing Starter motor
I found the three hand difficulty was largely due to having to hold 20# with a weakening arm hold, then trying to wiggle the starter into place.
I built a starter holder using an old scissor jack - see my post here somewhere with photos titled "I Just Installed My 20# Starter By Myself - Easily - $4 Tool" A search will find it. |

I didn't do anything but install the "stump puller" in 02/2011 so I don't know the answer to your question. It has been working fine though. I still have the old starter to use if I ever need to. Robert/Texas |

"If you have a sissors jack (and who doesn't) buy a 4.5" plastic disposal pipe joint (ABS perhaps) for about $4 at any hardware store. The starter is 4.5" diameter as is the ID of the joint you purchase. It has a raised rib inside soas the pipes it joins are centered. Remove this rib with your dremmel or equivalent tool, then cut a minor section from the pipe joint. More than half but less than 3/4 (see pic). Fasten the 60% part (tossing the 40% part) to the top of the jack. I drilled and tapped for 6-32 screws. The starter will snap into the holder atop the jack. When done you can remove the screws and easily store the pipe section." |

Re: Installing Starter motor
I liked the scissor jack idea & kinda used the idea modified to what I had w a small rolling hydraulic jack. Drilled holes in the lift cup & used 14 gauge house wire stripped to attach starter to cup on jack. Worked good. Took weight off the 70 yr old arms & back! Was able to get height right raising & lowering & easy to angle & jiggle gear past ring gear. After starting bolts & snugging snipped wire & pulled them out.
Thx for the idea, will stay on my trick list
