If it's been sitting a long time, you may have to get the motor to turn some or beat and bang a bit to break it free from the flywheel. To answer your other question, yes you can start it with a 12v and bypass all the old wiring. Make sure you have a coil compatible with 12v, you can hook a temporary 'hot' wire from the battery to the coil (don't hook up until ready to fire up) then ground the battery to the motor and jump the starter from the battery. |
thanks

I've never had the starter off of my 50', but that starter looks alot like the one on my 8N ford tractor, when the two bolts are removed on the tractor starter , the starter falls apart. I hope this is not the case with the truck starter.

i will watch out for that
thanks
i will be careful when removing rich |
They fall apart if your not careful pulling it out. Have a nut handy to put on one of the bolts once you get it out. Also there should be a strap of sorts from one of the oil pan bolts that helps hold up the end when it's installed. I had a hard time getting brushes for mine at Napa and asked them to check for the 8N. Sure enough ,the same. By the way welcome to FTE. Lots of experienced folks here willing to help. Also the starters don't pull straight out, you have to kinda wiggle it a bit to get the thing out .
