Can anyone tell me what the pressure angle and diametral pitch is on the gear of an automotive starter.
Working on a project and need to find a 6" diameter gear that will mesh with the gear on a starter. Trying to make a starter that will start my dads old 1929 John Deere tractor.
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Bruce

It will likely depend on what starter you use. Some flywheels have more teeth than others.

Do you have a donor starter that you want to use? If so, you could calculate the gear size/pitch. McMaster-Carr probably has a section explaining how to measure the gear and listing of available gears in the size/pitch you need.
