For reference, if you don't mind, where did you order it from and what was the cost.
I have had simular 24v starters rebuilt locally for ~$150.

i got it on Ebay for 350 plus 20 for shipping. i bought the truck last saturday and the guy i bought it from said it was rebuilt before he got it. he only had the truck for a few months. i figure if i put a new one on it and rebuild the other i then have a spare. If my friends who also have deuces run into starter problems we will have a spare parts pool to draw from.

I installed the new starter in under an hour. i fires right up, now to fix the horn. All the wiring is missing fron the steering colum and the horn button is missing but i will come up with something.

Ditto what Sparky says! I had a similar problem for a while(most of the summer!!!).
Don't go crazy like I did. Try two newer batteries that you are sure test good
and see what happens. I ran testers all over the place and could not find my
problem. Tried jumping it without success also. When I pulled the two GI
batteries and threw in two commercial ones it started immediately!

I've had an intermittant starting issue with my deuce since I got it in the spring. Finally got to the point it wouldn't turn the motor over, just clicked. Batteries were new, cable connections clean and tight so off came the starter. Took the end of the solenoid out and found a loose connection on the large negative terminal. There is a small screw inside that had backed out most of the way so it wasn't getting a ground. I'm sure this has happened to many people that ended up replacing their starter. Very easy fix (except for getting that big @ss starter in and out). Now that I've done it out of the truck I know for a fact it can be done when the starter is still in the truck, it'll just be a bit tight. Hope this helps someone in the future!!
