Thanks Hotrod and Wrenchbender , looks like I've got a non-standard starter and bending a wrench or getting a 3/4 "starter wrench" may do the trick. It looks like I should have took that starter off the first time it "acted up" now it died while trying to start the old girl, its "dead", won't do a thing. The PO switched to 12V system and this is definitely not the original 6V starter. Now to get it off and see what the problem is.
