Startrer for TR1500

[KenCombs]

I just spoke with my uncle who has acuired a yanmar. It is a TR15 or TR1500. Two cylinder diesel with a bad starter. He is mechanically savvy and believes the old starter is beyound repair. It was submerged in muddy water and not cleaned before lots of usage at least two years ago. Badly scored commutator and rust everywhere.

Are these availlable used or rebuilt? Len or anyone?

TR15 or 1500, that's a new one on me...is this a walk behind model tractor or four wheel??

I am betting he has a YM1500 with a 2TR15 engine. I would recommend removing the starter and taking it to an auto electric repair shop. You would be amazed how inexpensive it can be to rebuilt those starters.

I'll bet you are right, or at least I really hope you are since YM1500 parts may be available.
As I mentioned in the original post, this starter is not repairable. My uncle has owned a parts store and been involved with this kind of work for 50 years, so I imagine he has correctly evaluated it. The tractor was submerged, just over the starter for several hours then not cleaned and dried out correctly. The starter was full of mud, which when dried out and the starter used many tiimes, cut the armature really badly. At least that is what his evaluation says.
I'll have him check the hood side panels for an ID. Assuming it is a YM1500, does anyone have a good starter?

How and where is the armature cut? If it worked after being submerged, and recently quit, it's hard to believe it's not reparable. Once he prices a new or used starter he may decide it's worth a try.

Just about any good starter rebuilder will be able to rebuild or exchange the starter for you.I'm in Michigan and could recommend several places to have it done. Probably about $130.00 or so. It is a Hitachi starter.
