Starter options?

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Get yourself a nice later model *permanent magnet* diesel starter, it doesn't even have to be the
biggest one, it'll be more than good enough.  These are longer and smaller in diameter than the
old wound starters, and they have tons of grunt.  Just don't drop it, you can crack a magnet and
then it's trash.

I got one and love it.
