An answeer to my question about starter in 142 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Hampton on  Sat Apr 2 05:28 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I asked for help with a starter in a 142 a while ago and decided to keep messing around with it. The answer isn't very mentally challenging (or I couldn't do it). It's also not too hard.

Just release the transmission support brace after supporting it witha jack. Lower the jack a few inches and the bolt goes in easily. Simple, and it doesn't take a long time to do the trick with the tranny. The bolt is another story. We were lucky that trhere were two of us. In the past I've been able to wedge an open end wrench on the nut (in the engine compartment) and turn the bolt witha socket wrench from undereneath. Oh, yeah, the bolt has to go in from underneath as George said some time ago. That's the same for 120/130, 140, 240.

BTW, my son was the one who suggested lowering the tranny, but dad was just too damn smart to do it that way (the right way) in the beginning.

Thanks for the insight you guys gave before.
