Was wondering if anybody knows where I can find this starter for a decent price?

Thanks

53 M38A1 Starter

Tell me, is that a 12 Volt starter for a converted M38A1? If so, what would you consider a reasonable price? It is pretty heavy, so shipping might be a little high. Where are you located? And yes, I have one I am not going to use. It was on my A1 when I got it, and has been rebuilt since then. I am going back to 24 Volts, so I don't need it.

I SWEAR it said Tab A went into Slot B!

That is not a Willys starter. Notice it is designed to be mounted on the left (driver's) side of the engine. That is where the Dodge mounts theirs.

My Bad, disregard it's just upside down.

Look for this style CJ3B/CJ5/CJ6 12 volt starter with the solenoid attached for the key start function.

Yes sir that is correct. Im located in North texas. Shoot me a PM on what u might want to get for it. I dont really know what prices are going for, I want to be fair to you. Im on as much of a budget as possible, I bought this jeep that was over my price range because it was supposed to just need a carb clean and Im uncovering that there is quite a bit more to it.
Look foward to hearing from you.

Thanks
Casey
