Leroi Engine - what starter to use

[Alan V]

I am restoring a Gehl FH 81 forage harvester made in the early 1950s. It came with a Leroi engine as the power plant. I would like to put a starter on the Leroi engine, since the thrill of hand cranking has long since left me. Does anyone have an idea of what starter would work? The engine number is D201, and the starter uses the 3 bolt mounting system.

Maybe one for an Allis Chalmers D17 gas? Or for an Allis W201 Power unit?

We had one of those once. I think the engine was same as Allis WD.
