    Hi folks, wondering if anyone might know where I can source a starter drive for an Autolite MDM6005

    I did find on another forum that some used a Filco P/N SD-32 successfully, I'm just striking out on cross referencing the part.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated....Pete

    Thats a good question. Both of my starters work fine, on both motors, but I would not know what to do if I needed a Bendix? It seams like everyone puts a Toyota starter on an F 134 instead of fixing the autolite starter? Good Luck.

    Thanks for the reply Rick. This comes out of a friends 58 CJ6 with just over 9,000 original miles so there will be no Toyota starter in this jeep. I had one in another jeep I bought years ago that came with a Toyota starter, but it engaged inconsistently.

    Rick, you were kind enough to gift me a tinted windshield several years ago and I do have fond memories of chatting in your garage. Thanks again!!

    My Wife still uses the stand you gave me for a Coat Rack by the back door. Thanks for the memories Pete. I miss the days when there were starter and generator shops all over the place.
