I've got a 1950 F-1 that has been parked for 33 years... just bought it last summer and noticed the starter is dragging. You wouldn't think removing a starter off of a simple old vehicle like this would be a bitch, but I can't get it off!! Is there a trick to this? I removed all the bolts around the starter, and it will move around with my hand, but seems to be stuck to the plate between the engine and transmission. I see the replacement unit online doesn't have the plate stuck to it, so I know it comes off of there somehow. Also, there is a round cover on the other side of the bell housing that looks like it houses the bendix, and I've had no luck getting that off as well. Maybe thats the secret, there may be a C clip in there or something? Any advice is appreciated.
