Ok Tractor Experts..a Question on Starter Motors:

[afleetcommand]

My John Deere 2750 has that typical for them tendency to eat starters because its always loaded with the hydraulic pump, the piston kind; and no "tee" release to help. SO Found three styles...:
1) Bosch 3.0 KW Direct (Dealer sells them for $450 or Chinese AM "Bosch Style" for $150 on ebay)
2) 2.7KW Direct Dealer doesn't sell this but there are a pile of these AM on ebay for $120 or so

3) Gear Reduction Starter (Delco)......calls itself an upgrade. Local place D&W Diesel Electric only sells this option, they are a huge supply/repair house in Auburn NY (45min drive) Sells them for $210

Which one and why?

I have had very good luck with DB Electrical now partnered with Arrowhead? https://www.dbelectrical.com/products/tractor-starter-john-deere-539-diesel-combines.html But say out of stock at this time?

Gear reduction. It'll spin it faster & there easier to get on & off.

All of our Deeres have gear reduction starters now. The down side is on that series you may have to go to a different lift pump. The style you switch to has a tendency to be a problem. We have a 2755 that we had to switch the lift pump on to have room.

go with the highest kw rating.
