A delco remy 39mt or 42mt starter will fit it. 42mt are usually eaiser to find but you shouldnt have any problems getting one there i wouldnt believe they are widely used on heavy equipment youll just have to wire up a key switch to the solenoid as that stlye doesnt use the foot rod with contacts. Also definitely check youre fineal drive oil as they are to known to bust the rear housing if the drive pinion bearings go out. Engine should use straight weight oil instead of multi weight as it has different properties that detroits dont like and will make it smoke. Here in the us general gear and machine in Idaho is the go to place for parts for the older crawlers. I have acouple hd5s myself so if you have any questions feel free to reach out

One thing to note, the mt 42 is a solenoid starter, rather than using the push rod of the original starter. Good upgrade anyway.

Back in the 70s, my brother needed a car to travel a couple of hundred miles to a new job. My dads old 170D (1954) Mercedes was sitting at the back of the yard for around 10 or 12 years. Changed the oil & filter, put the tractor on a chain & within 10 feet, dropped the clutch and away she went. Up to the garage, flew through its MOT and my brother drove it down to his new job that night👍🏻👍🏻 You can't beat old iron.

Marty, I have enjoyed your video's very much over the years that i have watched, and learned a lot from them (I refer to them often). I love how you always start with the basics. If it weren't for your video's, I would not know how to trouble shoot a Diesel engine as I had never done it before. I have done several since, thanks to you. My only complaint is that after you restore something, you never paint it to protect it. In many cases, you go to great lengths and expense to repair a machine but never paint them.

Hi Marty. Another top quality video. I've always been a fan of Allis Chalmers. In the early 1970s I operated a AC HD 6 with a bucket loading trucks in a limestone quarry north of Masterton , New Zealand . It had an Allis motor but earlier models I think may have had a Buda motor. It was not until around 2017 when I was working with cattle on a farm near Colville NZ that I saw in an old hay shed right near the cattle yards an Allis HD 5 powered by the Detroit 2 cylinder. The farmer owner did admit that it was underpowered but reliable. The HD 5 and 6 were very popular with agriculture contractors breaking in hill country during the 1960s in the backblocks of NZ. Along with the Cat D2 / D4 and the International BTD 6 they are still hidden (slightly) away all over the place. I'm retired now but I had a job for 50 years working with beef and dairy cattle all over the North Island NZ. Over the last 5 years I often recommended Marty's KZbin channel to farmers.

Recommissioned one of these on my friend’s farm. It had been sat 20 years or so. Had to take off the rocker cover and make absolutely sure the rack was free and the injectors unstuck. They have a tendency to stick flat out and the engine runs away. Can take the gloss right off your day when that happens. We didn’t have a CO2 extinguisher, but did have the air cleaner off and a flat plate to choke the intake.

Allis Chalmers got its start around the time of the civil war and was a major force in the mechanization of American agriculture... It grew into an industrial conglomerate by the time of WW II. One of its subsidiaries built the blowers used by the Manhattan project for the gas diffusion process at Oak Ridge. Later, another subsidiary built the hydraulic turbines for the Aswan High Dam in Egypt. Allis Chalmers rotary kilns were used to process a large fraction of the world's taconite ore. But, after over 100 years in operation, the company went down the tubes due to mismanagement in the mid 80's. Some of its subsidiaries and brands live on but the company itself disappeared.

After showing my (no interest in mechanical stuff) wife one of your amazing rescues from out of the bush, you come to life with this! A tree growing out of it and a fair bit of work later, its running! Simply staggering. Thoughts re finding another starter within NZ - often it is following contacts that lead from one person to another and so on until you find the person with what you want. . Quick thoughts without sleeping on it would the Vintage Machinery Club on MacLeans Island just out of Christchurch - someone may have some ideas of who to approach. The other thought would be Millers Tractors just out of Leeston. I know they are tractors but they have an incredible collection of old stuff lying around you never know, and again, they may know someone who knows someone... Also passed on to an old friend in Rolleston who is up with all this sort of stuff. Certainly a few HD6s around NZ over the years... but HD5s? I bet there is a starter lying around in something somewhere in the South Island. You know us New Zealanders, we never throw anything away :-) (My wife wishes I did!) Brilliant effort mate!

The starter for that 2-71 is an 11 tooth 40MT, same for the 3, 4 & 6-71 series inline engines. Shouldn't be too hard to find. 15-W40 is a detergent oil & not correct for two stroke Driptroits, SAE-30 non-detergent oil is correct for your climate. Didn't look like anybody had given it that much love in a long time Mate!

They have them on eBay and even Amazon. The prices range between $350-$700 USD.

11-tooth yes, but a 39MT or a 42MT would be a better choice. Might have to clock the nose cone due to where the solenoid is on a 42MT.

Was looking for someone else to have commented on the oil. Better than no oil to get it going but won’t do it any good. Starters are cheap and available even back when the original failed and the machine parked up. Lucky having not checked the rack wasn’t stuck open with a seized or sticky injector

It doesn't get much more kiwi than that. A bunch of blokes out in the back blocks in tshirts, stubbies-style shorts, and gumboots. And to top it off, applying the #8 fence-wire mentality to rescuing an old piece of equipment!! Great way to start 2025 here in the cold northern hemisphere!

Hey Marty I got my Father in laws 1952 Fordson Major running again, all from things I learnt from your videos. It hadn't run in 15 years. When we tried the Hydraulics, the cylinder exploded oil all over his new Ute haha. Shot mate from Otago!

That old girl fired up after 15 years as if it 15 days. Great call giving the young lad a go. I have been fortunate enough to have driven various bulldozers and there is nothing like the filling of raw power. Marty, I think you will have to provide a solution for the missing starter motor. You are the man!!
