Hello,
Would anyone have any input for me regarding a hi torque gear reduction starter for my 2350 and 2355 tractors? I can find them online from many different sources and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any particular brand. Starting has always been an issue with these tractors. Just not enough cranking amps. Both have 2 new 800CCA batteries with separate cables to each battery. 2 positive to the solenoid and 2 negative to the starter mount bolt. A third battery cures the issue but I just don't want to hang another battery on the tractor. Being a decent machinist and a good mechanic I have often wondered if I could adapt a Chrysler product 1970's vintage gear reduction starter unit....just for something to do in retirement......
Many thanks, look forward to your input
