Thanks Dudes!

We're in the 50's today (can't believe it!) so I waded out into the drive to see if Elmer would give it the old college try. Unbolted the starter and just tilted it a bit and I heard a sharp "snap" from the bendix so I bolted it back up and sure enough he fired right up! I was sure I was out a starter, didn't even consider that the bendix was stuck. Distro was all dried out too so that was a bonus.

Thanks for the help.

Mine use to hang up before I replaced the ring gear (while I had it split for a clutch job and input sjhaft seal)..Anyway I learned how to keep it from hanging..Be sure when you hit the starter, hit it solid....don't fumble it.......by doing this it is less likely to hang. And of course weak battery makes it more likely to hang...
