Hi! I saw you video yesterday about your old 1964 cj-5 that would not crank becuse of the starter. I had the same problem dealing with a 1965 Hurricane F-134 engine I am trying to rebuilt. I am also a fanatic of Toyoya Land Creuisers. I have a 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep with a 6 cilinder gas engine. I have several stater motor for the Land Cruiser because they are easier and cheaper to obtain. So I just took one of my Toyota stater motor and follow your advice on how to adapt it to the CJ-5 housing. Problem solved! Thanks "Bad Hombre Garage"! You saved muy 1965 CJ-5 proyect. You have a follower from Panama. Thanks again!

Did the same thing on my 1962 CJ-5 and worked a treat following your instructions. Thanks very much for a very helpful video. Cheers

What I have always been told the FJ 6 cyl. engine is a very close copy of a chevy 235 6 cyl. sooo maybe a 235 starter might work also.? In the town that I live in the pop. is just a shade over 10K. and there is a place that rebuilds any kind of starter motor. When I had them redo the one for my Ford 289 it was like $20.00.

That's cool that you can put a Toyota Starter in it at $60 a pop you can kill alot of them $800

Good vid!! I've got an old m38a1 withe the f head in it. So I like the idea of knowing that I can put a yota starter in it. I went ahead and put a voltmeter gauge in it. It has an ammeter, but I like the voltmeter much better to indicate the condition of both the bat, & the alternator. Just my 2 cents!!

Sweet Bro! I'm doing the same thing on my 1952 M38A1. The old Auto-Lite starter needs bushings and a Bendix gear (not worth fixing), found the land cruiser starter 16224 at AutoZone for $61.99. It will be here in a couple days. Can't wait to get it up and running again! Thanks for the video as there is not much out there for this conversion except forums. And that's just a bunch of words, pics/vid's or it didn't happen.

check on your old starter it works with a full charge bat,// before pulling you starter check bat.- and recharging of volts// going back to batt, to keep and hold a full charge //before removing your starter
-
Will this work for a 1968 CJ5 with the 2.2 4 cylinder motor?
-
I really appreciate the video, I've been considering the same upgrade for my 66 and I'm glad to see it went in pretty smoothly. Do you notice a big improvement starting it up now? Mine takes a while to finally fire up, but I haven't figured out if that's a starter issue or fuel delivery issue.
-
Some good learning points there. Did you go back and check the Jeep starter motor after you solved the real problem??
-
Was the other starter motor still bad or was it just a flat battery in the end
-
It will fit in hurricane F134?
-
my 1960 Willys CJ5 has generator I keep my generator 12 volts

First lol @myconight

Aren’t you glad you didn’t buy the $890 one! Save the old starter, it’s probably good too
