955 12a direct start conversion was created by Edward Rolfes

A friend of mine has a 955 12a, that he is thinking of converting to
direct electric start. Does anyone know what he needs and possibly
where to get the parts? I know some people have talked about converting
D2's and maybe D4's, would he need same parts ? Any help would be
great.

That would be a D315 engine same as the D4 6U & 7U and Old Magnet on here has all the info. you need to convert to the DS so I,m sure he,ll tune in & give you all you,ll need to do the job.You could get the loaders either way from the factory when they were new.

All the info you need is at this website........same as D4....just a little bit tighter to work on with the loader framework. At least the hard part is done, they already have the drilled mounting flange on the bellhousing.

Thanks OM!
I'll give the info to my friend, then its up to
him if he wants to change it. For now I'm
going to leave mine alone and keep using the
ponies to start them.
Thanks!!
