    I've got a top mount reverse spin Prestolite starter that needs a new/replacement (9-tooth gear) for the starter drive unit. Just looking for the gear...if it's available.
    #'s on starter drive 480375
    #'s on starter MDY7056
    Thanks for any leads.

    Thanks Rat...see what ya can find out, like I said above, I really (only) need the 9 tooth gear that goes in the "starter drive". I already have 2 complete starter drives...and the gears in both are chewed up pretty bad.
    Remember...top mount "reverse spin"!
    Prestolite starter # MDY7056 (reverse spin) top mount.
    Starter drive # 480375
    Heck, I'll take 2 of those gears and rebuild both of my starter drives :rollside:

    Thanks Daddy-O...
    I hope they have and will sell just the gear as that's all I need. If so I'll take 2!

    Thier parts break down only breaks down to the drive assembly and they want $68.00 plus tax and S&H. You could almost buy a rebiult for that price.

    Got your message...thanks!
    As I thought, I'll most likely need to purchase a whole starter drive...again, just for one stinking gear! :yuk:
    If needed I can do that around here...thanks again.

    thanks for the tip, I'll look into it but if I recall because it is a reverse spin...that made the find much harder. Everyone had to order it.
    I wish I could locate a place that actually (rebuilds) the starter drives...maybe I can trade a Philly Cheese Steak for just the gear.
