    You either have a broken bolt or a missing bolt. 2 bolts hold starter to block in addition to the front bracket. It makes no difference if original or aftermarket starter.

    Which battery to use for 12V on M1009

    That should work fine. I hook my 12 volt electric over hydraulic pump to the front battery and it gets a lot of use.

    Electric Gremlins (No Power)

    I would check the fusible links connected to the 12 volt diamond on the firewall. I had a similar issue once losing power to the switch and it was one of these fusible links. M1031 was running and died. It fried one of these fusible links.
