My 77 is protesting work of any kind.  I tried to start it and it turned for a few times and stopped.  I checked the 6V battery and it is fine so I tried to jump the starter.  Got nothing so I took it to my starter guy and was  surprised that it had a gear reduction starter on it and claimed to have seen maybe 5 in all his years of fixing starters. So did Oliver ever put a gear reduction starter on a 1953 gas 77?
