Thanks Jim. pretty sure it's a 61. I am going to figure out how to upload pics, may help when I'm asking questions lol

Hello folks
Now I have another problems. The lift cylinder threaded end is stripped and looks like it was welded at one time. Now my question is do I weld it back or replace the shaft, and how much of a job would that be?

I want to thank everyone who has helped me on my crawler. I got it started today. And the sad thing is all I had to do was open the throttle HAHAHA. Been so long I forgot which way it went. Now to grease it up and put it all back together. Thanks to all, I couldn't have done it without all your help...

Sitting in the seat the fan is turning counter clockwise. So is this accurate?

So I got the starter rebuilt and it cranks. But as near as I can see it is cranking clockwise turning the motor backwards. HOW do I get it to crank countec clockwise??? Going crazy here LOL

Well I got it to crank a couple of times then smoke came out of starter. I'm guessing it is fried. What is the best route to go? Rebuild as 6 volt or change it to 12 volt? I'm lost as to next step.

Thanks to Stan for your info.
And to Jim B, it is a 420 C Thanks for that. So I am assuming it is a 1957 Which is a good thing to know when ordering parts.
Thanks to everyone for the input.

I need info . I have a 1950 crawler that has a 6 volt starter but a 12 volt alternator. My wonder is Do you hook the battery for a positive ground or for 12 volt negative ground? Any help appreciated. I will be rebuilding the starter and planning on making it 12 volt. Any info on this would be appre...
