Daryl,
Yes, start with a stick or a hammer.
I've had several vehicles over the years that the starter has locked up on
(the worst was a 76 Chev Impala), whack em about 3 times with a 2 lb hammer
and it unlocks.
If this works check the bolts to see if they are lose, it may be hanging up
on the fly wheel.
If not, can it be shimmed into better alignment?

Subject: [MV] Dead M-37 starter
Hello list,
I have asked some of my local MV'ers this already now I am asking
ya'll. At the Memorial day parade my 52' M-37 stopped at low idle.
Attempting to re-start produced nothing from the starter. Got full
power all in the green. The crew pushed me off to the side and after a
few %#$#@&&% it worked again. Got it home w/o any further
mis-adventure. Yesterday totally dead starter, power in the green but
not even a crank.
Replace it? Clean something? Hit it with a stick?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
