So an OEM 6 volt starter pinion gear will not engage with 12 volt ring gear. Period.



And lookee what I found in that box-o-stuff hidden in the back shed.. (see pics)

Haven't checked if the parts match for a complete starter.
If so, then will need to meter test it all.
Then trade in some brushes from the "problem" unit, and then run it.

Maybe I can also use one of the nose cones from the 2 that are here ..like the problem one that originally had the mismatched "12 volt" armature in the 6 volt core thinking
