I'm wondering if you could make one up out of parts Gary. Seems that the motor would largely be the same as any other. The nose would be different but then it might be a shared part number with other fitments, and the armature shaft / Bendix arrangement might be adaptable from other fitments too. The nose could even be milled or modified from another. Not your first choice obviously but could be an option. I'm contemplating a 6V inertia starter based on those considerations (strictly for hot starts : )
Hi Neil,
That's what I may have to do. I got one starter a while back that was not exactly correct but I may be able to make it fit by mixing and matching parts. I am still hoping to find something complete and ready to go. Thanks for the ideas. Gary
I ran 6 volt starters on converted 12 volt tractors and a GMC truck 40 years never a problem!
