Yep,been there,done that. I repowered an Oliver tractor with a Ford truck gasoline 6 cyl engine.There was no factory starter that would fit this odd engine,bellhousing combo,so I dug through the salvage yard untill I found what I thought would work. Well,the magic day came where we were ready to test run the engine. Cranked her over,she turned like mad,but would not fire and sprayed a neat little fountain of fuel/air out of the carb. looked at the fan and yep,she was turning backwards :-(. Back to the salvage yard for an armature and drive that was wound in the other direction. Fired right up the second time :) Some starters lay along side the engine block,others stick into the bellhousing from the rear. If you grab one for the wrong application,it will spin the engine in reverse.
