I have an old Yale/ Bowman , it says on the tag model MP3981. The starter is going out on it and I can't leave it down while the starter is rebuilt. How do I identify the engine so I can maybe order a starter to swap in? I have pictures if needed.
Serial says G877137
03-FG15PVDS
3000 lbs.

am told it might be a gray market unit.
