" I am trying to get the start
" I am trying to get the starter off of my 250 Catapiller engine with no luck so far. I have removed all of the bolts that I could find. It is in a hard space to work in and I can't see or feel any other bolts. I wonder how heavy it is and if it must be pried forward or something to remove it. There is only a very small library near where I live, but the lady that runs it said she would order a book for me to use if I can get a name or author so we can find it. I have the batteries disconnected, but a neighbor said it might loosen it if we hooked them back up and touched the starter button. I am not about to try this unless it is upon the advice of a real mechanic. Also there isn't a real mechanic within 35 miles and a tow there would cost about as much as my boat is worth. Thanks for your help and best regards,
