Yet another starter question

Posted by New Super A Man on July 15, 2003 at 11:17:43 from (12.26.122.3):

In case any of you that responded to my earlier message read this, I was able to get the starter on my '52 SA to work again, for now, by removing it and puting in back in. I guess it will work until everything lands in the bad spot again. So I have a few questions. 1st Hugh Mackay mentioned a clutch starter vs. a bendix starter. I'm not completely sure of the difference, but correct me if I'm wrong. One the bendix starter the drive gear is thrown forward to engage the ring gear when the starter is activated and then retracts. On a clutch starter, the gear is always in contact with the ring gear, but spins free when the engine is running, but when starter is activated, the clutch engages and turns the engine over, sort of like an A/C pulley on a car. Do I have this correct? If so, I have a bendix type. If not, please enlighten me. 2nd Where would you recommend I go looking for a clutch starter? IH Case dealer, boneyard, starter/generator repair shop, etc? Think I could find just the drive and use the same motor, which seems to be working good so far. Again, thanks for the help, you guys are great!
