The starter on my MCI 10 with 8v92 started to drag . I had it rebuilt in a professonal alternator/starter shop . cost $275.00 . It started the engine fine. We tried it about 3 times. No problems. MY mechanic took it to the inspection station. It came back fine . WE parked it and the following friday I startes it up (no problems) I wanted it to warm up, check lubrication, everything appeared okay. After 15 minutes it stopped on his own. I tried tio restart but nothing happened. Upon inspection one battery post had melted of and the starter was destroyed, The commutator had lost a few pieces. MY generator does not show a part number. It has on the oval plate the following information 50MT 24v cw 10478911 400 95413.

I got free help which I can not afford. A friend bought a new high energy starter (I dont know what rotation but it is 12 volt) (He did not know about the old starter being 24volt))

He then suggested we convert to 12 volt starting which I believe will create new problems. Help My core is now junk. I am trying to find the starter numbers that can be used for this application.

Optional Information:
Year (other): 1981
Make (other): MCI 9 crusader II BUS
Model: Model 9
Engine: 8v92TA
