Replacement Starter Question

[dabtl]

I got a used starter for the multi-fuel motor from miltrucks. Took it to the local starter shop. The owner looked at it and suggested that a GM AC-Delco starter converted to 24 volts would be interchangeable. Any thoughts?

Why: is there something wrong with the used starter that you just bought, would a Delco be cheaper them rebuilding the used one or does he think the Delco is a better starter.

My starter man told me he could build me one if I ever needed. A lot of heavy truck starters have the same bolt pattern, the only difference is which way the head is turned for the solinoid placement. Also I understand these motors will fit in a lot of White tractors as White build a lot of these. Some tractor pullers use these engines in their pulling tractors.

No, but they are cheaper, perhaps, to rebuild and far more plentiful. We are in the process of rebuilding the one from miltrucks, it worked when pulled, only because I would rather deal with it now than wait until my current starter quits.

I saw these GM AC-Delco starters and wondered if anyone had used one or whether or not it would be a good idea.
