73 HJ45 starter issue (1 Viewer)

Hopefully I’m in the right forum . I’m looking for help locating a replacement starter for the one attached. After a year of rebuilds and trying to locate a replacement I’m lost. Is there anywhere I can locate a replacement ? This truck was handed down to me and the mechanic is telling me he can’t exactly tell what engine is in it but believes it’s a Mitsubishi or Isuzu.

Maybe a photo of the engine would help? Especially the engine number plate?

Ok so that looks like the original 1H engine.
You just need to find a new starter for it.
A quick look on the parts catalogue suggests that the starter motor is common to all models at least for that era.

Third picture clearly shows the Toyota TEQ. If your mechanic doesn't know that much about Japanese engines wouldn't trust him with your engine.
