    Starter Drive Without Beveled Teeth

    I just saw this drive on ebay, but noticed it doesn't have a bevel on the engagement end of the teeth. The bevel is to help make a smooth engagement, so that's the only style I'd buy.

      "ACCIDENTALLY", I put an M.G. ring gear on backwards, rubbed the teeth with wheel bearing grease & it worked FINE!

        Starter
        by sideline
        I may have missed it but I searched the archives and didn’t find the answer to my question. My car is a1929 still 6 volt with no plans to switch to 12 volt.

        My starter is sticking and doesn’t seem to be disengaging from the flywheel. I’ve rocked the car back and forth and got it to pop loose a few times. I’m thinking it’s time to replace the starter drive. Also, when I swapped...

        Starter Drives and Springs, What to Look For
        by Tom Wesenberg
        Here is a good buy on some starter drives and springs, but none of them are for the Model A. These springs and drive helix all have RIGHT HAND turns, and the Model A needs LEFT HAND turns. If you can't remember while searching swap meets, just stop and think how the starter shaft has to turn to make the engine spin, and as the starter armature turns, it pulls the spring in such a way that the coils...

        Abell starter
        by Stewart.Slack
        I have a 1928 Tudor with an Abell starter (1/2” shaft). It is original to this car and since 1972, has not been a problem. In the last year, on two occasions the drive gear gets stuck behind the ring gear. To get it dislodged I have to remove the cover and turn the slightly clockwise to get it released.
        I have to take the starter out and reset the brushes.
        This time it looks like the...

        Starter issues
        by Jamey E
        So, what would cause a starter to not do anything after the car being ran for a while? This is on a 30’ roadster. Car started fine this morning, car was drove for an hour or so, & now the starter won’t do anything. Any ideas?

        1928 Starter on Ebay, but Beware
        by Tom Wesenberg
        Here is a link to a 1928 starter on ebay, but only the main body is 1928, with the pyramid contact for the starter switch. The armature shaft and drive are the later 5/8" style, and will not work with the multiplate flywheel. The bolts holding the spring will hit the flywheel. Also notice the drive was sprayed with silver paint, and the Bendix spring has rust pits. Anytime a spring has rust pits...

        12 Volt Starter
        by dmdeaton
        What's everyone doing for a starter with 12 V? I see Snyder's sells a reduced gear new starter that is a little pricey. Have to install a electric switch to pull in the solenoid....

        Starter Motor and Bendix
        by DUProf
        I have a heavily-used largely ‘29. Still a 6 volt system. One of the changes that occurred over years of use was change to a push-button start on the dash. Attaches through a solenoid on the firewall. Recently the starter motor stuck ‘on’ during a brief 2 block drive; only discovered as I turned off the engine. Fiddling with the switch caused the starter motor to stop running. On attempted restart...

        Ring Gear
        by carolinamudwalker
        I pulled the starter out and my ring gear looks fine but when I feel the back side of the teeth they are not smooth. Actually will cut you if not carful. I did convert to 12 volts and ran the starter as is for awhile. I have since changed the coils to 12 volts. Should the starter gear and ring gear be lubricated with something or run dry?

        Starter interchange
        by Chuck Sea/Tac
        I evidently have an early starter that has the thin walled bushing on the long shaft. Can that armature be used with the later ends? It appears the id and length are the same, so why not?
