- Warning: Plot twist! This one won't end how you think. Follow along as I attempt to replace the old original starter in my 1964 Willys Jeep CJ-5 Hurricane F134 engine with a later model Toyota Landcruiser starter. It can be done! But does it need to be done? Also, side note: get an unwanted review of the Harbor Freight 7 function digital multimeter.

Thanks for finding my channel! This is a follow-along series while I work on projects, though some may consider it a rat rod build or hot rod build series. There's plenty of how-to, though I'm not an expert! Watch and you tell me!

Hi!
I saw you video yesterday about your old 1964 cj-5 that would not crank becuse of the starter.
I had the same problem dealing with a 1965 Hurricane F-134 engine I am trying to rebuilt.
I am also a fanatic of Toyoya Land Creuisers. I have a 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep with a 6 cilinder gas engine.
I have several stater motor for the Land Cruiser because they are easier and cheaper to obtain.
So I just took one of my Toyota stater motor and follow your advice on how to adapt it to the CJ-5 housing.
Problem solved!
Thanks "Bad Hombre Garage"!
You saved muy 1965 CJ-5 proyect.
You have a follower from Panama.
Thanks again!
I love that! Muchas Gracias for the kind words! This is why I make these videos- so that we can all learn and share ideas with each other. Thank you!
This is excellent!
Did the same thing on my 1962 CJ-5 and worked a treat following your instructions. Thanks very much for a very helpful video. Cheers
Awesome! I’m glad you found the video helpful!
What I have always been told the FJ 6 cyl. engine is a very close copy of a chevy 235 6 cyl. sooo maybe a 235 starter might work also.? In the town that I live in the pop. is just a shade over 10K. and there is a place that rebuilds any kind of starter motor. When I had them redo the one for my Ford 289 it was like $20.00.
That’s a good idea. I wonder if the Chevy would fit? I considered rebuilding the starter, but I do like the new one.
Good vid!! I've got an old m38a1 withe the f head in it. So I like the idea of knowing that I can put a yota starter in it.
I went ahead and put a voltmeter gauge in it. It has an ammeter, but I like the voltmeter much better to indicate the condition of both the bat, & the alternator. Just my 2 cents!!
That’s a good idea! Thanks for watching.
Sweet Bro! I'm doing the same thing on my 1952 M38A1. The old Auto-Lite starter needs bushings and a Bendix gear (not worth fixing), found the land cruiser starter 16224 at AutoZone for $61.99. It will be here in a couple days. Can't wait to get it up and running again! Thanks for the video as there is not much out there for this conversion except forums. And that's just a bunch of words, pics/vid's or it didn't happen.
Right on! That’s why I love doing this. It’s a pretty straightforward swap, let me know how it goes for you.
@@BadHombreGarage Got my starters in and the 16224 from AutoZone had a steel snout. The Ultima R612250B from Oreilly Auto Parts had an aluminum snout. So I used that one, it was way easier to oblong the mounting holes. Thanks for the tip bro! Jeep is back spinning over like a champ.
@@69jeeper thanks for the really good info! Hope that can help others out. Yep, easy swap and mine cranks over so much easier now too. Good stuff.
@69jeeper: I have a’53 38A1 to fix up, with the L head engine swapped in, and another 38A1 for parts (body shot) with the original F Head engine. Had them for years just sitting in the yard. I’m retired now, and ready to start wrenching. What did you do for electrical system on your 38A1, you must have converted to 12 volt.
When you got yours, was it the 24 volt system?
That's cool that you can put a Toyota Starter in it at $60 a pop you can kill alot of them $800
You’re right on that! And find a replacement at any parts store.
@@BadHombreGarage for Sure
I really appreciate the video, I've been considering the same upgrade for my 66 and I'm glad to see it went in pretty smoothly. Do you notice a big improvement starting it up now? Mine takes a while to finally fire up, but I haven't figured out if that's a starter issue or fuel delivery issue.
It is pretty straightforward, and yep it definitely starts easier. Before it felt like the old starter was laboring to spin the engine over, this new one just hums along no problem. Only issue is that it sounds like a late model foreign starter.
Will this work for a 1968 CJ5 with the 2.2 4 cylinder motor?
I believe so, the 2.2 would be 134 cubic inches… which is the same as the motor in my Jeep.
Was the other starter motor still bad or was it just a flat battery in the end
Man, all that for a dead battery.... though I think the new starter is so much better. My alternator was bad, hence the dead battery.
check on your old starter it works with a full charge bat,// before pulling you starter check bat.- and recharging of volts// going back to batt, to keep and hold a full charge //before removing your starter
I should’ve done that!
Some good learning points there. Did you go back and check the Jeep starter motor after you solved the real problem??
I hooked it up to a battery and it works fine. Oh well!
It will fit in hurricane F134?
Yes, that is the engine I have in this video.
my 1960 Willys CJ5 has generator I keep my generator 12 volts
Nice!
Aren’t you glad you didn’t buy the $890 one! Save the old starter, it’s probably good too
You are probably right. That new starter is still working great, no issues even in the below-zero temps. I’ll probably sell the old starter with the engine one of these days when I swap it out.
First lol @myconight
Thanks!
