Willys Jeep F-Head or L-Head Toyota Gear Reduction Starter

This guy is a freaking genius. Man I wish I could do 1/6 of what he can. Love the show. Especially the jeep stuff

My F-head starter to a dump on me so I'm headed to the parts store for a Toyota reduction starter..Thanks so much for the help. BTW I'm working on my 1954 M-38-A1 army Jeep.

I watched this program and now I'm in the process of changing my starter.

I hope this Channel will grow like BIG , bc I want to have this Man do and buy whatever he likes. the Videos are well made, funny and educational. Thsi has really chanched my attitude towards Projects and it helped me a lot getting stuff done. If you stop doing one thing and go along with another.. that eventually gets you stuff done and finally finnish your Projects. Thats much better than let them sit around for month and month bc you have to have them perfect all the time and loosing the motivation on it! his way doing wrenching and not getting TOO serious about every little detail got me thinking about my Motivation fails lately... and besides all this: This guy is a born Teacher!! And getting people to listen and learn stuff and motivate them is not an easy job normally.. This is my fave channel so far!

Looks like someone did a really nice lock-n-stitch job on that block at one point in time.

An interesting thing, my nephew had a 1953 International pickup with the I6. The starter on it was identical to the starter on my 1960 CJ3B with the F4 I had at the time. Strange how unusual things will swap.

End mill to oval out a bolt hole... Winner winner chicken dinner😃!

Looking forward to seeing more of these motors

The Toyota starter fits well, but I found that the throw of the starter gear is about 1/4" shorter than the stock starter. It will engage 9 out of 10 times OK, but on the 10th try it will just grind and chew up the ring gear teeth. I corrected this by cutting the face of the starter mounting flange down by about 1/8" and cutting out the backing plate in way of the starter flange. This gave me the 1/4" I needed for full engagement. Worked for me, your results may vary.

Gets better and better!!!! Great content!!

I learn something cool, big or small, every time I tune in. Thanks for great content!

In glad you got something from YouTube, we love your videos,

Good day sir! How are you keeping? Always a great day when you upload! What an idea! A burley Land Cruiser starter on a little F-Head! Might try something similar with my diesel W123 series... Congratulations on the revenue from YouTube! You totally deserve it and so much more! Anyway, always a pleasure and privilege watching you work! Kind regards! And best of health! Big Al

Hi , that was good stuff ,thank you.

Did it after see this video in my 1955 CJ5 and it works great.

Your creativity is awesome!

wow that's great to know! the starter in my M38A1 is getting tired and this would be a nice swap (obviously only feeding the starter 12v vs 24v)

Thank you very much for this video, more details how make fit this starter, greetings from Ensenada, México.

Thanks for the idea. I saw your video and just bought the starter.
