I'm having trouble with my starter, I can kick it 1 to 3 tries and start right up but starter won't turn it over, it will try then start humming and won't kick out, have to kick it to get the starter to disengage, new to working on shovels so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...

 

Buy a battery, and clean the connections..

 

Brand new battery and solenoid

 

I bet you need new brushes in your starter housing it is separate from your starter cylinoid

 

Dammm auto spell

 

starter motor is shot yesteryears we would rebuild them but today you can get a more powerful motor reasonably priced

 

Oh ...then Put a quarter [or washer or?] from long solenoid stud to the small stud.
Still no crank??? I also suspect starter motor..

 

Personally I would rebuild original starter to retain OEM Equipment you should be able to get it rebuilt between $70 to $125 all new

 

New starter , made in China ,no good

 

Right on!!! I'll take rebuilt, or even repurposed O.E. any day over The New Junk coming in from elsewhere...
