The starter on my HG 42 (12V) just quit. Is this starter interchangeable with other automotive/tractor applications? Iââ,¬â,,¢m hoping to get a reman exchange, but I expect to get blank stares if I go to Autozone and ask for a 1948 Cletrac starter.
Thanks
Here is an url for a site that does denso conversions, you also might try Zimmermans listed in the classifieds... I noticed that someone had a couple starters for sale in one of the ads also... Good Luck!!!

Thanks Joel,
The Denso conversion looks like a nice improvement, but I have a loader and there seems to be a clearance problem with the bucket arm on the starter side.
Thanks anyhow....nice looking little HG 31 you have!

Hey John, just wanted to let you know that my little HG31 came from the Napa Valley where it was used in a vinyard (or whatever you call them in California) and is an orchard model and that is why it has the 10" pads on it, whereas most other HG31's that I have seen have the 6" pads on them... Joel
Hi Joel,
Iââ,¬â,,¢m in the Northern San Joaquin Valley, an area that has more wine grape acreage than the Napa Valley. In fact a lot of the grapes grown here are trucked over to Napa/Sonoma so they can say that on the labelââ,¬Â¦.haha.
Small crawlers have always been popular in the vineyards & orchards here, but are now replaced with narrow track wheel tractors like Kubotas & such. A neighbor used to have a Cletrac ADH (ââ,¬Å"Hââ,¬Â for ââ,¬Å"hillsideââ,¬Â, with a wider track Iââ,¬â,,¢m told). I dropped my starter off at an auto electric shop yesterday to have it rebuilt.
Cheers,
John
