Hey all, long time reader, first time poster. I recently picked up a Toro groundsmaster 7200, has a Kubota d1105. It has a litany of issues I'm chasing so I'm sure I'll be asking more, but here's my current problem.
The motor was missing the starter when I picked it up, I ordered a new starter and got it installed, worked fine at first but it would crank one minute, then just click the next time I'd try. Sometimes spinning the crank would allow the starter to work, or tapping the starter with a wrench. So I'm assuming I need to shim it, I just can't find anything on shimming a d1105 starter.
If I remove the starter it will spin fine repeatedly. So I guess basically what I'm asking is do these starters normally need to be shimmed, or does this sound like a shimming issue? Thanks for taking the time to read.
