Old C20B won't start

I have a mid 1960s C20B that had been converted to propane somewhere way in the past. I bought it about 12 years ago and saw some pretty good usage for a few years. Now I was only using it a couple times a month and have noticed that it's been harder and harder to get it started. When I turn the key I don't hear the click anymore. I have jumped the terminals on the starter in the past to get it going and now nothing seems to work. I know the battery is good so that's not the problem. I would just replace the starter but this is my problem, how do I get access to the starter? I see it but it looks like I can't remove it without taking the engine out which seems crazy. What am I missing? Thanks!

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
