Ok I got my m1009 a few years back. It was already converted to 12v. Fast forward to about 6 months ago.
Some A hole tried to steal it and busted the steering column and killed the batteries and the starter started whining really bad. Thankfully the thieves didn't know to use the glow plug warmer.
So I'm glad it wasn't stolen. I replaced the batteries and a new steering column. Starter wasnt sounding great but still kinda worked. Didn't start as fast as it used to but yeah. I procrastinated to replace the starter. And now it died in a parking lot. You can hear it spinning. But doesn't seem like it is making connection with the flex plate. And come to find out one of the starter bolts fell out. Looks like it sheared just below the threads. Ohhh goodie.
So anyways. The question is which starter do I get. Is it a 12v starter or a 24v one ? I assume it's 12v since it's missing the alternator and they said it was converted. But better to ask to make sure I think.
Thankfully it seems that starters around 110-130 that's not too bad. But I need to know which one to get. Thanks in advance. Here are some pics. Sorry for the story lol.![IMG_20221029_104539.jpg IMG_20221029_104539.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/638/638514-ed64e1d51d9613166f3555b2eea3583f.jpg)
