I purchased this Series awhile back I still have not started to work on it yet. It has a mitsu diesel engine and trans as well I think. It was in storage since mid 70's. Looking around I spotted a new solenoid on the seat and saw old one mounted in compartment under passenger seat where battery was mounted no wires attached. I was looking at the starter and its a 24 volt starter and noticed there was a solenoid on starter as well. The gauges and wiring look to be original but I noticed the plunger for starting was not present.I'm not a mechanic by trade but dont understand why 2 solenoids or where they bypassing the one on starter cause there was no wiring there as well.Wondering why a 24 volt starter would be needed for a small straight 4 compression maybe?
I will eventually figure it out but I will take any advice I can get.
