Soundguy! Rebuild would be easy, BUT....the only thing wrong with the starter is the drive gear is broken. the builders up here tell me they can't get that gear any more. Apparently there is a replacement starter by delco that is buildable but the lucas parts are not available?? Who Knows? If I could find a gear, the rest of the starter is A-1.

HAd it been a TO style.. I think you'd be in luck. The fergy bendix is similar to the ford bendix.. ring gear too. We just rebuilt a continental /redseal engine on an old stationary power unit, and the ring gear and starter drive were on the shelf items.. or 1 day order items from car quest..
I'll ask some of my fergy buddies about starter drive gears for the te series.

More info:
You sure that thing is not a TEA 20.. instead of a TE 20. Some books I've paged thru still show the TE20 as having the continental engine.. while showing the TEA 20 as having the standard engine. That's where some confusion on my part came from.
Also.. as you are aware.. the ytmag site sells a starter for a bit over 2bills.. perhaps they have the drive gear seperate?
Might also try to order it thru sparex.. like from a MF dealership.. Assuming it is a lucas part.. etc

E or EA, I wouldn't swear to, but it is a standard motor co. engine. The starter is Lucas, but my sources here in the handicapped colony say that the starter has been changed up. the Serial # is TE 78230. Have looked at some ford starters, and although similar, the drive is longer and the shaft is larger. In fact I have one here I thought I might make work, but there seems little hope as the gear teeth are larger as well.
Again thanks.

A friend just emailed me that he has a 12v lucas starter that came off a 1954 TEA20 that he's looking to sell.

Here is one resource that might help you.. he was an MF mechanic for 35 years I believe. He might be able to tell you what would work for a substitute or a resourse to find one.
