Anyone know of a source for a new or re-manufactured starter, for an Allis Chalmers FPB 20-24 (1 ton lift capacity) forklift? The engine is a Waukesha FC 133 gas four cylinder, manual trans. I believe it is an early 1970's model? Some of the digits on the data plate are wore off, so I haven't emailed the AC historical site, to verify it's age. I brought the starter to NAPA, and they couldn't locate a replacement. I then ordered a starter online, from a small engine suply (said it would fit an FC 133). Tried to mount the new starter today, and it doesn't fit! The start I received from the supply house, has an external solenoid, which won't clear the trans bellhousing. The original starter, has no external solenoid.
The original starter has a MAK 4001 marking on it. I found on Google; that this marking indicates it was manufactured by Autolite, and it appears to have been used on a 1938-1940 American Bantam automobile. Again; the NAPA folks were clueless with this info. Any help is appreciated! |

Ages Cat,
Thanks for that info, I will call them on Monday. From the pic posted by Coke-in-MN, it appears that my oem starter is missing the spring on the starter shaft? |
