The Ford Barn

Tim Ayers · 05-02-2020, 07:20 AM

While cleaning out, I found this starter in my stash. What has me stumped is the third mounting bolt. The third bolt goes through a cast flare on the starter's end cap.

At one time, I picked up a bunch of parts from a guy who had a '53 that had a Ford-o-matic.

I've never fooled with a Ford-o-matic car, so I don't know if the starter would be different.

Any help ID'ing it, would be great.

Thanks,

Tim

** Ugh, it's not letting me post picts. Once I can, I will. Sorry. Picts would help.

Might save Ya' the trouble. And the third bolt hole on mine doesn't mount to anything.

Thank you. Yep. that's what it is. Another member DM'd me. Can it be used for a standard trans ca? The Bendix looks different.
