i bought a 1954 major deisel about 12 months ago.it was a little neglected in the maintenance department but worked fine.i was told by the previous owner that the starter motor was no good and he had been clutch starting it for years.on inspection of the wiring found some problems and rectified them and installed a new battery.it starts fine now but occasionally when the engine reaches operating temperature and it is turned off it will not restart until the engine cools.the starter spins but doesnt seem to engage the engine.if anyone has had this problem and rectified it i would appreciate some help.thank you.

Barry,
It might be that the engine is heating up and getting tight. I have run into this when it is real hot outside. Try releasing the compression release on the front of the engine and then crank her over again. That should work.
