Many farmers ask how to install a starter on a walk-behind tractor. When operating a motor cultivator, starters are used: main and auxiliary.

Installing a starter on a walk-behind tractor

There are various designs starters:

• manual;
• spring;
• electric.

The most common is a manual starter for a walk-behind tractor, since this device is very easy to install on a walk-behind tractor, and its repair is easy to do yourself. If such a device is operated correctly, its durability is several years.

Let's look at what elements a starter for a walk-behind tractor consists of:

• a drum-shaped body;
• springs: large and small;
• washers;
• coil;
• cord;
• reeds;
• fastening parts.

In the center of the drum there is a reel on which the cord is attached. A large spring is located in the housing around an axis and is designed to return the reel to its original position after scrolling.

The mechanism of this device is quite simple; you can assemble it yourself.

The operation of a walk-behind tractor with a manual starter is carried out as follows. The driver starts the mechanism by pulling the handle of the device. At the same time, the device begins to work and starts the engine. In order for the device to successfully transfer the initial rotation to the motor, the handle of the device must be pulled twice.

But despite the fact that a manual starter on a walk-behind tractor is considered a reliable device, it also sometimes fails. If the structure breaks down, you can repair it yourself.

How to repair a motor cultivator starter yourself

Let's look at how to repair a walk-behind tractor starter with your own hands. Before you start repairing a recoil starter, you need to find instructions for its operation, which contains a diagram of the device. Then you need to cook spanner to unscrew the mechanism.

Before dismantling the device, you need to photograph it so that you can then correctly assemble all the parts and components.

After this, unscrew the washer, which is located in the middle of the body. Having opened the lid, you need to carefully inspect all the parts that are located inside the drum and determine which of them are damaged. It is necessary to inspect small parts very carefully and carefully so as not to accidentally damage or lose them.

In most cases, repairing a kickstarter on a walk-behind tractor involves updating components that have failed. For example, the starter cord is replaced if it is torn or frayed.

If a large spring fails, you need to remove it from the drum. There are usually hooks at the spring attachment points. If the design does not have them, then you need to heat the ends of the spring and bend them in the desired direction. If the spring is completely out of order and there is severe metal fatigue, then there is no need to try to restore functionality to such a spring. In this case, it is best to replace it with another one. After this, we install the device in its place.

In addition to the manual starter, there are also spring and electric starters for walk-behind tractors. The spring mechanism has simple design, starts up easily. The device starts up after moving the handle of the cultivator. Acceleration of the motor occurs through semi-automatic operation of the spring. You can replace a manual starter with a mechanical one yourself.

The electric starter of the walk-behind tractor is connected to the battery, from which it receives power. Electric start of the device is carried out using the start button. The battery determines the power of the electric starter and the operating time of the device. Installation of the electric starter is carried out according to electrical diagram of this design. A walk-behind tractor with an electric starter is durable, reliable, and has a long service life.

Motoblocks cannot be called complex structures, but still even they contain certain features. For example, during operation of the device, two starters work at once: the main and auxiliary. Spring, electric options and manual.

The latter are the most common, because they can be easily installed on a walk-behind tractor and, if necessary, repair the object yourself. Such kickstarters are unpretentious and often successfully serve for years with careful use.

The device consists of:

• a body made in the form of a drum;
• large and small springs;
• reeds and washers;
• reels and cord;
• fastening parts.

The cord itself is fixed on a reel installed in the central part of the drum. A special large ring spring is placed in the drum around the axis and helps the reel return to its initial state after scrolling. As you can see, assembling such a mechanism is quite simple.

As for the working process, everything is even simpler here: after a person jerks the starter handle with a sharp movement, the mechanism itself comes into action and transmits the initial rotation to the engine. For better acceleration, pull the handle twice.

But, as is usually the case, nothing works forever and even such reliable devices sometimes fail. Be that as it may, there is no need to be upset, because all problems can be corrected.

How to repair a manual starter for a walk-behind tractor with your own hands?

• Before starting all procedures, it is advisable to find a diagram from the manufacturer or use the document presented on our website;
• You should prepare a wrench that will be needed in the future to unscrew and remove nuts;
• Before disconnecting the starter itself, it would be a good idea to take a photo of everything so that you can reassemble it correctly in the end;
• Unscrew the washer located in the central part of the drum;
• Inspect all the elements inside and look for damaged parts.

The main thing is to be very careful with all small things so as not to lose them. Most often, starter repair involves updating unusable parts. For example, replacing the starter cord will be important if it is completely frayed or torn.

With a large spring, everything is somewhat more complicated, because there are special hooks at the ends of the attachment points. If they are missing, you need to heat these very ends and bend them in the appropriate direction. Important point: you should not try to return the element to its former functionality when there is pronounced metal fatigue. Replacement will be the best solution.

What other types of starters are suitable for a walk-behind tractor?

• Spring starter. It is considered not only easy to install, but also quick to start, because the device will start immediately after moving the handle of the walk-behind tractor. Thanks to the semi-automatic operation of the spring, the engine accelerates. Moreover, replacing a manual starter with a mechanical one will take no more than 2 hours;
• Electric starter for walk-behind tractor. The specified type is powered by battery. Naturally, this one standalone source and will determine the power level of the electric starter and the duration of its operation. But it is worth noting that not all models of walk-behind tractors with manual start can adapt to the specified one, therefore, before starting replacement work, you should consider this point and carefully study the capabilities of the existing mechanism.

Every owner of walk-behind tractors should understand that at first absolutely all starters function perfectly and can please their owners with this state of affairs for about a year. But without periodic lubrication of the parts, checking them and a commensurate jerk force, such joy will not last long. Take care of your starter and it will respond to you with high performance and for a long time services.

What's happened powerboat starter?

The starter on the walk-behind tractor allows you to start the main engine quickly and quickly, but this can cause problems during operation. What do you need do, if this fails, and is it worth trying to fix it yourself?

Starter operation

For starting the engine powerful walk-behind tractors mainly use spring starter, But manual options are also very common. A recoil starter is much easier to install and operate, so it is more profitable for production. The design of this unit is quite simple and uncomplicated:

Starter design.

• drum-shaped body;
• coils;
• big spring;
• cord;
• little spring;
• languages;
• Washer;
• fasteners.

The cord is attached to a reel, which in turn is mounted on the drum core. In a special section of the drum, a large ring spring is placed around the axis; after scrolling, it returns to its original position. Here's how you can briefly describe the design. It all works as follows: the user sharply pulls the starter handle, thereby setting the mechanism to the initial rotation, which is transmitted to the engine. As soon as the moment necessary for starting the engine, it immediately starts working. Usually you need 2-3 times to hold yourself to process properly so that the starter accelerates well.

A recoil starter for an engine block is terribly inconvenient as it requires a lot of effort to start. In addition, this unit often breaks due to excessive force.

How can you restore or improve it?

Trick repair

Manual trigger manual repair Usually intended to correct bent spring mounting points or replace certain parts. Sometimes it happens that you need to replace the starter cord. To check what ultimately broke, you need to disassemble the part of the engine block where the starter is located.

1. First of all, we are armed with a diagram of our device, which describes the fastening of all parts, as well as a wrench for removing the nuts.
2. We disconnect the starter, do not forget to remember what and how it was installed before.
3. Before you become a drum with a washer in the center that you need to unscrew. Once the top washer has been removed, we disassemble everything inside and check the elements for damage.

The most common violations are:

Ratchet design.

• the cord broke;
• one end of the ring spring is straightened;
• The coupling in the center of the reel is broken;
• reeds don't work.

If the cord is broken, it is simply replaced with a new one. There are two hooks at the ends of the ring spring. If there is none on one end, you need to heat the metal and bend it with a hook. If necessary, you can also replace the ring spring.

You can assemble everything with your own hands, and also disassemble it, the main thing. View instructions and diagram of the device. Disassembling the starter motor unit is for the most part the same for all models of this agricultural equipment. The only difference. number of reeds under the washer. from 1 to 2.

Are there any options for improving engine starting? You can replace the mechanical component with an electric starter, then the need to pull the handle with all your force simply disappears. But this modification is not available for all models motorized units with manual start.

Electric starter device.

In addition, the circuit chosen for installation is not suitable for every engine, so it is worth looking at other types of starters. One solution could be a mechanical spring mechanism.

Some stores sell a Zubr walk-behind tractor restoration kit. The old manual starter on the walk-behind tractor is no longer needed, so it is simply removed. Replacement is suitable for installing an analogue with a spring trigger. After installation, just change the position of the handle, and the engine will start working almost immediately. A mechanical starter, thanks to the work of the spring, begins to accelerate the engine shaft without constant jerking. The replacement process will take no more than an hour.

The factory starter on the walk-behind tractor initially starts the engine with only one movement. Such smooth operation of the mechanism can last a year, but the more often it is used, the faster the breakdown will occur. To avoid this for as long as possible, it is worth checking the amount of lubricant before starting, and also not pulling the handle too tightly. This will reduce the likelihood of breakdown, but will not completely avoid it.

This walk-behind tractor model is a new product from the end of 2014 to the beginning of 2015, it was made on the well-known and beloved 23rd base, and is its improved continuation. The main differences of this unit are the new headlight and the electric starter system, powered by a built-in battery. These innovations are designed to significantly improve user comfort when working with this agricultural device. It is worth noting that the launch of a 4-stroke American engine from Briggs & Statton I/C with 8 hp. can occur not only with the help of an electric starter, but also in the old proven way from a manual starter, pulling the starting cable of the winding mechanism. This opportunity provides a choice for the end user and will not allow the walk-behind tractor to be idle in cases of a dead battery or any other force majeure.

Video review “work and operation”

Over time, owners of NEVA walk-behind tractors are faced with a serious problem with the starting mechanism and its failure. In the beginning, as a rule, the reverse coil spring begins to break.

One of the reasons for the wear of this element is the loss of elasticity of the spiral. Its repair can be done two to three times, then only replacement due to the reduction in the length of the spring worsens the return of the ratchet.

As a result, there is a risk of injury or rupture of the protective mesh with failure of the electronic ignition.

So what to do, if there is an appropriate store nearby, then you can go and buy a new starter, but if this is not possible, the owner is in despair.

As practice has shown, there is a way out and, moreover, it is quite simple.

We will need a pulley with an internal diameter that must match the diameter of the shaft and a piece of durable meter-long cord. On the opposite side of the engine, the shaft has a continuation sufficient to create a new starting mechanism.

It is advisable to have a pulley from aluminum alloy, easier to process, and O.D. about fifteen centimeters.

We look at the photo and do the same.

In the inner hole of the pulley, use a file to make a groove for the key and place it on the shaft. We fix it with a bolt, screwing it into the threaded hole at the end of the shaft. We take the cord and make a good knot at one end, and a handle at the other.

That's it! The starter is ready for use.

We wrap the cord around the pulley and pull, the sharper the better. Required condition: The cord should be wound counterclockwise.
