Starter drive question

The 223 I6 in my 54 F100 came without a starter. I am converting to 12V so I ordered it for a 56. I bought a reman from my local carquest and a drive from CG Early Ford Parts. The drive is held on by a pin through the end of the motor shaft (which I don't have). My question is. how do I get the pin in? The hole is partially blocked by a sleeve on the drive. My parts book shows an "old" type drive with a spring on the pin end. Apparently the spring could be compressed to access the pin hole. There is no spring on mine. Maybe I have the wrong one??

The problems associated with buying rebuilt starters from autoparts stores: You never know if you'll get the correct one...or not.

1954/64: There are four different F100/350 223 starters and three different starter drives. The 1954/55 starter is 6 Volt.

1954/61 M/T: C1AZ11350A .. Bendix Drive (Motorcraft SD3) / C1AZ11350A replaced 1CM11350C.

1962/64 M/T: C2AZ11350C .. Starter Drive (Motorcraft SD132)

1954/64 A/T: B6C11350A .. Starter Drive (Motorcraft SD9)

So...my question is...what year starter did you actually buy? Is it for an A/T, or a M/T?

You went all the way out to CA to buy the Bendix drive? Couldn't find one locally? I found over 200, at Ford dealers, obsolete parts vendors.

I think so, a weak memory remembers pushing the spring back to put the pin in, why didn’t the reman starter come with a drive?

I ordered the starter for a 223 , 1956 so as to get a 12 V unit. I don't know why the drive doesn't come with it but I knew that at time of order. My local carquest parts house couldn't ID the right drive for it so I ordered it from CG Early Ford Parts. Their part number is 1CM-11350 and is listed for the right year. The starter was re-maned by OCA, part # 3115. Shaft length is good to the drive. Its a bummer that a pin didn't come with it though. In researching the drive before ordering, I found vendors that used the term "new type" but still listed for my year.

1CM-11350-C is the actual Ford part number and was replaced in 1961 by C1AZ-11350-A.

This Bendix Drive usually isn't furnished with the starter.

And...when you bought the Bendix Drive from Ford, it didn't come with the pin!

52-11365-B .. Pin-Bendix Drive / Obsolete

FITZPATRICK & LAMBERT in Dushore PA has FIVE = 570-928-8184.

GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has ELEVEN = 800-543-4959.
--------------------------------------------------------------
ANTIQUE AUTO SUPPLY in Arlington TX has 35 of 1CM11350C and 12 of C1AZ11350A = 817-275-2381.
