Bad starter solenoid help ?
Trying to head out this coming week and found out that my starter solenoid is bad. I do have a few questions.
1. How much for a new one?
2. Will it be hard to find locally?
3. If I cannot find one, does anyone have a good used one for sale?
I don’t know if there were different manufactures and designs of starters for these Detroit's, so any education you can give me will be appreciated.

Delco used to make a rebuild kit for them. The rebuild kit does NOT replace the coil so check that BEFORE rebuilding. I used to buy both the rebuild kit and new solenoids from NAPA.

Thanks Joseph,
I ended up calling the local NAPA anyhow and this was the info given to me 165.00 rebuilt starter and 40.00 for the solenoid.
Is $165 a fair price for a rebuilt starter My solenoid was bad and the complete unit cost $40. I figure if I am buying a solenoid anyway, so for $125 more I get a rebuilt starter. What do you guys think?

David, that is not a bad deal at all. Do to the mass volume of DD engines, there are a great amount of parts sources out there at good prices.

My next door neighbor just bought a Starter for his ford tractor, it cost him $415, yep that's right. The tractor is 20 years old. You got a deal for a bus starter at that price.
