fordomatic starter

[chicknlittle]

I did a post a while back on a mercomatic trans rebuild.I ended up getting it rebuilt so I could keep the car all stock but the shop lost my starter. I am having a vary hard time finding a starter is there any other starter that will work for the auto trans. I want to get my car back on the road. Thanks

None other that I know of. Only used '51-'53 on Ford and Merc. auto transmissions.
Why did the shop that rebuilt the ****** even have the starter?
Keep checking Ebay, they show up there from time to time.
there is one there now but without the Bendix.

I have a Ford-O-Matic starter out of a '51 Crestliner, it has all (or most) of the parts including the Bendix. I'll check it later today when I get to the garage. PM me if you want it. Vic

I looked in the Hollander Interchange and they show 52-53 Ford passenger
with 215 6cyl OHV the same, may be worth a look.
