There was a few older Lincoln Pipeline welders that had the Red Seal Continental engines. Might try them, I believe remember Dad saying some IH tractors had Continental engines in them. Hope this helps.
Some years ago we got some Continental parts from NAPA for a fork lift. Maybe a automotive electrical shop could overhaul the old starter it all else fails.
And as mentioned Massey Harris and Ferguson tractors used Continental engines, but that was many years ago.

Have a Continental (427) gas not exactly sure on the cubes, in the shed for sale along with misc parts. It's out of a Fox chopper. It's not a flathead. For parts only. [email protected]

Have gotten a lot parts from them over the last25 yrs. Last starter I got for my Oliver 1650 D was the best and it was built in house. Glad I could help.
