Oliver oc-12 starter PARTS

[cwmills23]

I have a (don't even know what year) Oliver oc-12. Use it for just some home - recreational stuff. Today while I was moving some old cars, I shut it down to to talk on the phone. Get back to start it and boom. Starters locked up solid. Few hours later I get the starter out and to a rebuild shop. They tell me it's "not rebuildable" but they have one that will work for 450$. I think it's a load of BS considering it was just working perfectly prior too. Anywho, where the hell do I find parts (a freakin starter) for this thing?? I'm 1:30hrs into this Internet search and all I have found is a starter for a cockshutt 570, same 4.9l diesel but the starter looks way different other than the bolt pattern.

I can't find hardly anything in the Internet about this ANYWHERE.... We're these like super low production or what?

If you have a starter for one of these Hercules 4.9l diesels, please Let me know!! Or if you know where to get parts.

Ps. I have an entire 4.9l spare motor I'm willing to part ways with. Along with some other stuff. Motor has had a tarp and intake and exhaust covered but I can't guarantee it's not stuck

Try Zimmerman (Zimmerman Oliver/Cleatrac) I think in Pennslyvania.

Whatever you do, make sure you pick up your old starter parts from the rebuilder. Odds are, there are some useable parts in that old starter…and the rebuilder knows it.

So, what did the "starter repair shop" determine was actually wrong/broken/beyond repair with your starter?

If you care to send it to me, I have a friend that has been rebuilding starters all his life. He is now 91 & still at it. Between the 2 of us it will be fixed right.
