My starter died today in line at our local 40 Ford day car show luckily a couple bump starts and it was a good day.

Someone suggested power master starters made in the USA

I'm looking for advice on where the best place is to buy a starter for a 1940 Ford 1/2 ton pickup and any other related advice is much appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I've got a powermaster starter on my 59ab and am very happy with it,I got mine from honest charley speedshop!
 
I would check it out before saying its dead. There is not much to them . Lots of replacement parts and used ones still out there.
. All the same except v860 and the 51-53 automatic transmission
 
I have quite a few 40 starters, if your interested in another used one I can test it first and let you know.

The original starter is very reliable, parts are easy to find and inexpensive, get yours checked out may be something simple.
 
There's got to be a shop in O/C that can test/repair a starter. Like others have said it probably can be repaired, most likely not a big job. If your starter is toast I have a working 6 volt unit that I took out after I converted to 12 volts.

Thanks everyone for your time a great advice I really appreciate it. Being new to flatheads can be intimidating but I'm learning. And like the antique bike hobby tons of great early Ford folks that are super helpful.
 
I have a Power Master on mine. Works good. BTW did you happen to see any 40 pickups for sale there? I have a young guy up here looking for a nice flathead powered 40-41 pickup.
