awhitaker- I looked at my v*a*l*u*-*b*i*l*t catalog the other day for somebody from this board- and I saw that they list a "D" Series starter for years 41-55. (They also list a different model # for a 1940 DC- but I can't imagine why they would be different.) From my CASE "D" series parts manual: Part #05566AB "Starting motor. Purchased from the Electric Auto-Lite Co., Toledo, Ohio- their No. MAB4105." It shows that this starter works for "D", "DC", "DO" and "DV" tractors. (The MAB4104# matches the v*a*l*u*-*b*i*l*t catalog# for the "D" starter.) CASEPOWER (Jonathan Winans) is building a CC pulling tractor. Last week he told me that you could use an "S" series starter on a CC or DC. I believe the S starters are smaller in size, but he says they will work. However, there's only about 5 bucks difference in cost between the two units. From my "S" series parts manual: The starter is Part #05973AB "Motor- starting (Auto-Lite No. MZ-4095)" (This also matches the catalog # that V-B lists for sale.) You don't need to have these starters re-wound to operate on 12 volts. They are plenty heavy-duty and will last a long time unless you are constantly cranking them. Some people on the board have said they have gotten wear on the flywheel from the Bendix engaging harder on 12V- but I've been starting my SC on 12 volts for years with no problems at all. Hope this helps, -Schotte
