I cant get it to move any further left. I have tried spinning the cading and the starter trying to get it aligned.
This is a 1950s d7 17a or 3t? Its q new to me machine.
Well i removed the protective sleeve thats on the right. And saw their are levers. I pulled those levers back and got it connected. I went to start it and I had a bit of smoke and now it won't power at all. Anyone have any idea what I could have done?
Patience and more patience. I have never been in that starter. But if it is like all I have been in, the armature shaft goes in a bushing or bearing. You need to put string or wire around the armature and genially move it up, down, right, and left until it lines up. Unless this has even more tricks.
Looks like the brushes fell down and now you can’t get it back together. On the RH side of the starter is that sheet metal cover that surrounds the starter. Remove that clamping screw and you have access to the brushes, you pull those back and hold them back and it slides back together. Easier said than done.. especially when it’s still mounted on the tractor. Also the RH end cap comes off with the brushes but usually they are rusted in place, there is a step that holds it onto the body and a dowel pin for alignment.
That is if when the smoke got let out nothing was damaged. That starter is part of the Delco 10mt series used in different variations in the AC A,B,C JD M 40, Farmall A with a different nose. Hopefully I can post a picture of one I just rebuilt a few weeks ago.

Thank you. I was able to pull those brushes back using some wire and it sis slide back into place. It when then I tried to state starter. Once I did this I got smoke from the starter switch, not the starter itself.
Remove the small switch and check inside if you have a plastic each side to protec for grounding and you can removedd the complet startor and use the booster cable and trid it if he speene and your machine is a 3t
