I've got a problem. I was bush hogging with my YM 1700 today and smelled smoke. Looked down and it was coming from my starter, the front of it. So I turned the key off and it quit in a little bit. But I finished what I was doing as I didn't think it would restart. And of course it wouldn't. I does click, but that is all. I called a place and they say a new one exchange is $225. That most are charging even more than that. Is this repairable, or do I need to get a new one? I do need the tractor, but to me that is a lot of money.

Dick,
Welcome back. You know you'll get a good answer here /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I think any starter/alternator could repair it for far less money.

Prunty, welcome home!
When I was deciding which Yanmar to look for, your posts were a valuable source of information.
I've seen several posts here saying an auto electric shop can nearly always rebuild your starter at minimal cost since the internal parts are pretty much generic.
The alternator crosses over to early Datsun, but I don't remember anyone ever posting about adapting a starter.

This place says they have yanmar starters yanmar starter good luck
Yes I emailed them, but they only do a search on Monday thru Friday, so will have to wait till Monday to see what they have. If that Nissan starter will work, that might be the best deal, as I can buy one at the parts place in town for $77.49. I'll wait and see if the guy gets back to me, on where I would need to run a jumper wire, and why.

pruntyc, I may be wrong, but I don't think you will find any Nissan starter with 15 teeth.

If my notes are correct, you can get the starter from NAPA. Have them check part number 91-25-1080 (Wilson Auto Electric). This is suppose to be a Hitachi S114-146, which is the same as Yanmar 124450-77010.
