Can anyone tell me if part #OR4272 starter can take the place of a pony motor in a early 60s D8 Thanks

    I think you need a special helix bendix

    I'll take that start engine over those batterys any day. I have overhauled many of them.

    I’ve converted a couple of D8’s to direct start without changing the ring gear. I’ve used Delco 50MT starters with the offset bendix gear. Not as sweet as a proper job,but worked fine for me.I allways kept a spare starter motor in the Jeep though
