HI Guys, Nearly a year ago we had problems starting the JD 5425 while changing the starter motor we discovered some of the teeth on the ring gear were chewed up. So we have been blindly turning the fan and belt by hand in hopes of alining some good teeth with the starter motor, which has worked well for several months. However now we cannot get it started at all. All we get is hum, from the starter motor, I guess. So does that mean that even more teeth are chewed up and we have to have John Deere tear it apart and replace the ring gear, at a cost of about $4,000?
Any other suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Craig
