Good catch Missing front brackets can/do cause nasty problems. Sounds like your starter needed rebuilt anyway.

By the time you fix it and the related cost involved, you could have just bought an undamaged one.

Buy new ones. I tried that process and they still leaked. Bought and installed brand new ones from Croft No leaks and No issues since.

No pictures of the “box”?

It’s actually hooked up to a proper tow vehicle. Looks good!

Don’t forget to add new freeze plugs to the growing list. Usually a neglected item and they will eventually corrode and leak. Easy with engine out. Nightmare with engine installed.
