:(The starter on my Mt160D doesn稚 crank smoothly as it used to. It cranks normally and then sounds like the starter skips with a little grinding noise and then cranks until it starts. It might skip/grind 3 or 4 times before it starts. Could it be the starter? Does this tractor have a starter Solenoid? Is there anyway I can test the starter or other starter components?
Once the tractor starts, she runs perfect.
Any help would be appreciated...
thanks

you would have to remove the starter and look at the gear that enguages the flywheel. through the hole that the starter was removed from look at the flywheel gear. you would have to turn it all around to see all the gear teeth.if these are all good the starter or the solenoid may be defective.check all the electrical connections.A & T Parts & Rebuilders try this site if you want to have it rebuilt.
