🚜 High-Quality DB Electrical SFD0145 Starter for Ford Tractors 2N, 8N, and 9N - Compatible and Reliable Replacement Parts Review

Starter was delivered promptly. My freshly overhauled engine ran well with the new starter, unfortunately after the 3rd turn the starter overheated and failed (this happens sometimes), was returned immediately and a replacement is on the way. Many Thanks.

I BOUGHT THIS STARTER SEVERAL YEARS AGO. IT FINALLY COMES OUT A FEW MONTHS AGO SO I HAVE ORDERED IT AGAIN. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I CAN SAY IS YOU MUST COVER THE STARTER, IT'S BAD IN RAIN. IT DID NOT WORK DUE TO RUST IN THE STARTER. OTHER THAT IT WORKS WELL AND STARTS CORRECTLY.

The starter was exactly as advertised but the old FORD tractor starter had to be ruined! Fits perfectly, just like the OEM, even has pre-drilled and tapped holes to hold the starter solenoid. When I first started it I thought something was broken! My old starter never turned so fast and sharp, and the tractor started right away. Great product at a great price!

Installed with no problems and worked well for about a month and then one fine day the tractor wouldn't start. It looks like a dead battery. I charged the battery but the motor still barely turned. I removed the starter and inspected it and the anchor was eaten. I ordered a new starter from another company, installed it - it shifts right away.

Installs in 20 minutes. I put some lubricant in the gearbox. Should have bought this a long time ago. Now with a fast spinning starter, my tractor starts like new. So if you start slowly and have checked all the connections, battery and relays, it's probably the starter motor. I changed the brushes but it never had the same torque as this new starter. Totally satisfied - money well spent.

Took 10 minutes from my 49 8n. It started immediately, but the Bendex didn't turn off after starting. Lots of noise so I pulled over and shut off the starter to find the gears were chewed up and the shaft was bent. Nothing was shot and the tape was removed at the last minute while rolling. To update. I bought a new Bendex and put it on my old starter. He worked like a champ with no problems. I suggest doing the same instead of buying this starter. You may, like me, receive a defective one.

The drive (Bendix) failed after 2 starts, then it turns without turning the flywheel. After removing the bolts to pull the starter out and find the problem, the end caps detached from the body and the entire block detached. I hope I can return the brushes and buy a better disc to replace this POS. Very unfortunate that the unit wasn't sealed or secured in some way to prevent it falling apart when removed. I'll try yesterday's tractors for an improved bendix.

Excellent copy of the original starter. My old starter was too old to crank the engine well. oh and oh This device fits perfectly. I'd like to see a note or label regarding the Bendix and its ability to pop out of the groove if twisted too far by hand. When you turn the Bendix drive manually, there is a small invisible piston inside that enters the groove and does not come out. This piston keeps the drive engaged until the tractor starts and centrifugal force allows the piston to disengage the…

Starter motor failed - the gear broke immediately and scratched the armature shaft. Warranty is worthless - The seller will not make you complete within the warranty period. Tires you out with 20% admin fees and return shipping. This does not take into account the downtime and labor required to separate the tractor and remove debris. Update: Revain stepped in and refunded the return and DB Electrical sent a replacement unit. It only took a month and a half to make the entire purchase again…
