SD220 STARTER MOTOR
Yesterday my starter motor basically disintegrated, may unfortunately have run up briefly with the engine when started but instantly turned off.....looks very dry where the Bendix is and i think this may have stuck.
My electrician looked at it today and reckons that only the case might be of any use, so.....
Anyone know where i might get another, either new, rebuilt or good used unit, or worstways who manufactured the starters for these L110/112 trucks with the SD220 engine? He could not find any stampings with manufacturer, casting no. etc. He is giving the unit to a remanufacturer over here who are good, to see their opinion on overhauling but obviously the trouble is parts are scarce over here in the UK......There are companies that list starters etc but mainly these are for later IH diesel engines as were fitted to some of the tractors, the IH trucks were not supplied in the UK but some tractors of a later age were.
This truck was converted to 12 volt, does this normally give any problems re the starter, i read before that the starter should be ok if the voltage is increased to 12v from 6?
First issue i have had with it starting wise, has always been a great starter (until now).
Any help appreciated. Manufacturer(s) name of starter, part no of unit, where i am likely to source one etc.
Thanks, Paul.
