I was looking through Resto Country website, and noticed that Falcon ute
tailgate was the same for XA-XH, that is 26 years. I knew XD to XH was
same platform, but never knew they carried over that part from XA-XC.

Starter motors on Falcon 6 cylinders went from XP in 1965 to BF until
the end of 2008. They had their money's worth out of that one.

Its not a bad thing, Falcon starters were very cheap, cost more to
rebuild your old one than buying a new one.

When Ford UK finally moved from side valves to OHV ones for their 4
cylinder engines (100e to 105e), they used the same starter even though
the 100e was a 6 volt system and the 105e was 12 volt. Didn't seem to
matter though.

For a starter it probably wouldn't. Running it at double the rated
voltage might generate a bit more heat, but given that most starters
don't run for very long it would be unlikely to cause a problem. Some
starters were probably better at it than others, too.

Years ago I restored a 1943 Willys Jeep that was left original 6 volt,
and on the day I wanted to start the engine for the first time after
it's rebuild the 6 volt battery didn't have enough oomph to crank it for
an extended period to get out pressure before starting it. So I just
jumped the starter with 12 volts using an old truck battery I had until
oil pressure showed on the gauge and then started it using the 6 volt
battery.

It worked fine, and while the starter got warm it wasn't excessive.
