    John Deere 450 starter. Need help figuring out the right starter

    Thank you. I will double check to make sure I didn’t miss any. I cleaned up some as well as the two ground connections in the battery compartment.

    John Deere 450 starter. Need help figuring out the right starter

    Aaagh. I did. Sorry it was a typo. Thank you! One last question just for future reference. Any idea what the motor came out of and what year, just in case I need other parts someday. Or does the 2 ear thing mean it’s the original motor?

    John Deere 450 starter. Need help figuring out the right starter

    @Diesel Dave I had not realized. Your assumptions are correct except… Would a two bolt starter fit in a three bolt starter hole? The one I took off only had two bolt “ears”. I didn’t look to see if a hole in the motor was unused.

    John Deere 450 starter. Need help figuring out the right starter

    I’m working on my dad’s old JD 450 Loader. He passed a couple years ago. He was having it worked on and had someone put a new starter on it. He had had some issues getting it going. Spent lots of time recharging batteries and cranking. Lots of water in the oil from a leak by the exhaust stack...
