Kubota Starter Motor

[foobie]

Starter motor has gone bye bye. The hammer-on-the-side trick isn't working anymore. Considering having it rebuilt vs. a new one from Kubota. Does anyone know where I can find the comparable kubota part number for the starter? Any preferred suppliers?
Other advise?

Many Thanks,

Steve

Steve, this C34 website has manuals.  http://www.c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page  Scroll down to manuals.

Ken Juul just posted references to the manuals in this recent topic, too:  http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,5705.0.html

Thanks Stu.

I've just found the Kubota parts catalog while rooting around in the wiki (love this site). I am supposing I should order the item entitled "Assy Stater" (sic)...  There is no description, but I am assuming that Assy stands for Assembly.

Steve : Now that you've got the part number, go to your local Kubota dealer and get some on the spot advice.

Steve,

The Kubota part number 15231-63010 shown in the D950 parts manual on c34 website has been replaced by 15231-63015 (according to my information). The tractorsmart.com website shows the price as $332.30. You can use that price to negotiate the discount with your local Kubota dealer...

Thanks for the part number info! 

I must say wow though! That's really expensive! I found the same part on Tractorstarterzone.com for $89 bucks.

Steve,

In my opinion that is a pretty good price. If it is the correct part you should grab it. I should check out this website. Thanks for pointing us to it.

Steve,

You might just consider removing the starter and having a local automotive electrical shop overhaul it.  Here's a link to the caveman overhaul approach if you're interested in trying it yourself:  http://www.c34.org/projects/projects-slow-starter-fix.html

Cheers,

Vac's correct - take the old one off and get it fixed. 
There is no guarantee that the one that you buy isn't a rebuild !!
