Starter Brushes What a Joke

01-15-2018, 08:14 PM

Here is a pair of totally worn out starter brushes on ebay that the seller wants $19 with shipping.
A set of four EX-80 can easily be made to fit, and a new set of 4 on ebay is just over $6 delivered. EX-19 might also work.
If you get into a bind for hard to find brushes, visit your local starter/generator shop and see if something isn't close enough to work. A little filing or cutting a notch might be required, but that's easy to do. Generator carbon brushes can easily be modified with a file or sandpaper.

Necessity is the mother of all invention.
Last year spent the better part of a day searching little NOS boxes of brushes trying to find enough to rebuild my father -in-laws starter for his tractor. We went all over searching. Till we ended up, at a dealer friend of mine who buys out job lots of old inventory. Jeff

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?

Starter armature, is it good?

by old31

The armature for my starter doesn’t have any grooves I can see the lines but I really can’t feel them with my fingernail like I can with my generator. Is this OK or should it be replaced?

The picture is really deceiving where the brushes ride it is very smooth.

Starter painting

by Chuck Sea/Tac

was the starter assembled before painting? For example if the windings were in, then the screws on the outside of the case, that hold them, would be painted as well.

Auxiliary Start Button Installation

Replacing the floor mounted starter rod with a
dash mounted starter push button

Whatever reason you want to alter your stock vehicle is your own, mine was out of necessity . I had to do a lot of trial and error to accomplish it the correct way and couldn't find any easy to follow instructions on the matter so I decided to write up...

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 issues

by JohnB15632

My starter used to work. No it doesn't.
Yesterday I put on a new positive power cable. Now have power to the starter post. Put on new starter switch. Depressed the starter switch and got nothing.
I took the starter off. I have 12 vdc + at the end of the jumper wires. I connected the negative to the case of the starter. When I touched the positive red lead to the post, I got large sparks....

by Calistri

Has anyone replaced the ford model A starter push rod with button - the peddle is stuck. So why would I replace the rod, when I could replace the rod with a switch? Has anyone tried this?...

Starter Motor Resurrection

by popsjohn

I thought it would be a good idea to have working spare parts for my car in case of a problem and I would be ready with a spare. I purchased a box of starter and generator parts from the Steve Wastler Estate Sale which included a starter with Bendix drive. It was rusted and the armature would not turn. After an afternoon of liquid wrench, hammering and prying I was able to get the armature out....
