does any body have any idea were you can get the contact that comes out of the case for the floor start switch ,on a 1940 1/2 ton .its the copper contact that clamps to the starter case from the fields to make the contact from the stomp switch .

I think your starter may have common parts for quite a few years following your year.

That terminal comes in a kit with new contact, insulators, case insulators etc. If your lucky you can replace that without removing the coils, I say this because if the wrapping on the coils is old then you risk ripping the insulation when you bend the coils leads back after you unsolder them. You just have to be careful when doing it. You also will need a good soldering tool that will heat up fast and hot. Denny supplied you with my email address above, thanks Denny, shot me an email and I will give you a price on the kit or any other parts you may need for that starter.
