Discussion:
Help ID replacement bendix or whole starter Yale G83P040

I have what I think is a G83P040 Yale forklift based on the previous discussion here.
I don't know the engine, but the block is 2806830-8.
The starter has a bunch of numbers, but none make sense nor can be cross-referenced. What I see is the following: 11388, 11664, 3A87, 11589, II129, 3A85, 11699, 1152, 1114, 1194A, 11458

Something fell on the starter solenoid while the engine was running and granated the Bendix gear.

For the record, after a bunch of searching, it looks like these are some of the model numbers that are a direct fit. YMMV

with a unit that old? you'll be lucky to find one anywhere.
If any of the parts on that starter are broken i doubt you will find any old new stock parts, these have been obsolete for decades. Your best bet is to look at forklift junkyards and see if they have any of those models with that engine in it that might still have an intact starter on them.
just google 'used forklift parts', there are many to choose from.
But keep in mind, this is a very old unit so it will still be very hard to find any parts like a starter for this. If you have a shop near you that repairs starters you might can take it to them and they would stand a better chance of finding anything, or they will tell you straight up if they can even fix it or find any parts for it.
This might be a longshot but i deal with a company here in charlotte nc 'American Auto and Truck Electric' that rebuilds starters and alternators and they are very good. Google them and get their phone number and call and talk to Chip, he might be able to help you.

Agreed. What's the part number? That's what I'm struggling to find.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
