Need help with B starter

[loveshisallis]

Hey;

I am putting on a new bendix on the starter and ask, how deep does the starter go into the boss on a model B Allis? Kind of confusing, as I see a 2 countersunk holes on the side and not sure whether to use that as a guide, or just shove it in till it won"t go any more? How exact does that depth have to be to make sure it engages the ring gear correct?

Appreciate the help

Are the 2 countersinks in line with each other so they just control depth or are they offset from each other so they rotate the starter different?

On mine the starter is in all the way, about 1/4" -3/8" space from the torque tube.

Hey Lonnie;

They are in line with each other.
