  A delco remy 39mt or 42mt starter will fit it. 42mt are usually eaiser to find but you shouldnt have any problems getting one there i wouldnt believe they are widely used on heavy equipment youll just have to wire up a key switch to the solenoid as that stlye doesnt use the foot rod with contacts. Also definitely check youre fineal drive oil as they are to known to bust the rear housing if the drive pinion bearings go out. Engine should use straight weight oil instead of multi weight as it has different properties that detroits dont like and will make it smoke. Here in the us general gear and machine in Idaho is the go to place for parts for the older crawlers. I have acouple hd5s myself so if you have any questions feel free to reach out

  At first I thought this was from Australia but when you didn't swear in the first few minutes, I figured that it was New Zealand.

  Honestly Marty, WTF! After 20 years that machine burst into life. No starter, no battery, just a tow and away you go. What a joyous sight! Onya Marty.

  Well done Marty.  I find it so strange even here in Tx when driving rural roads I see old abandoned tractors just sitting in the fields and I think, "man, I wish Marty was here"....lol
