Farmall M rebuilt starter-which type

Posted by novice on February 01, 2005 at 05:35:43 from (129.230.248.1):

I have a 1941 Farmall M (ser no. FBK114XX). I burnt up the starter. I'm not sure if it was originally a 6 volt or if was a 12 volt. My tractor is 12V neg ground. I went to ValuBuilt website to buy a starter and am confused by the many options. Some are 6 volt, some are 12 volt and one makes mention of counterclockwise rotation. Also the listings imply that the tractors were 12volt from 1944 on. I was told that Ms and MDs use starters that rotate in different directions so they can't interchange but the listings show a starter that has both Ms and MDs listed in the application. Can anyone tell me what I need. I presume a 12volt since that is what my battery is but I dont want to get a starter that wont bolt up or spins the wrong way. My starter flange has two bolt holes and the starter only has one post where the positive cable bolts on. There is no solenoid on the side of the starter like a car has.--Erik
