Home-Built Electric Starter For Farmall F-12
 ✖  |
Dean Pingel, Hilbert, Wis.: “Here’s how I built an electric starter for my Farmall F-12 tractor. The ring gear is from a Ford Taurus and the starter is a Ford marine starter, which I used because it turns in the same direction as the crankshaft on the tractor’s engine.
“I unbolted a spacer from the tractor’s driveline and replaced it with the Taurus ring gear, drilling holes in it to match. This setup was the only mounting option because the overdrive on the tractor’s transmission takes up a lot of space.
“The photos show how the starter fits through a hole in the plate and is bolted to a 3/8-in. thick steel plate that’s attached to the tractor’s frame.
“My nephew works for a company that uses laser machines and designed the mounting plate to fit. Before he did any cutting he made a cardboard model, and then a light metal model which he reworked until it fit.
“The hardest part was getting the ring gear to run straight, which I did by adding some spacers and washers. My total cost was less than $200.”
