All,
Admittedly this is my forklift, but anyone with the ancient 12v (possibly converted) put-put tractors has to have the same issue.
After only getting one year out of a starter rebuild, it is time to heed the warning from my starter repair shop and find a 12 volt batter of no more than 75 CCA. Yeah, good luck with that. I found a motorcycle battery with itty bitty screw connectors but that would be some serious necking down.
The Prestolite starter is old school, inertia throws the bendix out. Modern starters have a fork that pushes the gear into the flywheel so you can use any CCA you want. Never been able to find a modern replacement that would clock correctly. I bought one of the brand new junk units on eBay a couple years ago. They claim to be a drop in replacement but only about 2 sets of holes are drilled through the head so you cannot correctly change the clock on them.
So, where are you all with ancient forklifts (or farm tractors) finding batteries that are 50-75 CCA?
