I'll start with Google sucks, nobody apparently fixes starters anymore. I have a 1982 BJ44, 2B diesel, and when I tried to connect the 2 batteries, the post started to melt.. Since I smell nothing burning, it's most likely the starter.. Anyone know where I can buy a starter..? I'm guessing here, maybe there's a box mounted to the starter that's available, didn't crawl underneath yet.. Or, does anyone know a guy who rebuilds these old starters? Had a house fire last year, left my heavy duty bench behind, and all the water from the fire hoses wrecked my tools. No room for them here, so haven't replaced them. Any help greatly appreciated.
