Two 1919-1927 Professionally Rebuilt Starters

Post by AdminJeff » Mon Nov 23, 2020 4:43 pm

I have exactly 2 (two) Professionally Rebuilt Ford Model T starters. Fits 1919-1927 starter cars including TT.

$400 exchange with shipping INCLUDED (both for the starter and your core return) anywhere in the USA.
Lang's is $475 PLUS shipping
90 day, unconditional warranty ALSO included.

PROCESS USED ON ALL REBUILT STARTERS:
Completely Disassemble & clean
Replace Field coils with brand new
Replace terminal post insulator, washer & post wire, and polish terminal post nuts and bolt or replace as needed.
Reassemble/solder field coils with new post wires, insulators and new terminals.
Clean and rebuild brush holder plate.
Tap all holes in brush plate with 10-32 thread-chasing tap.
Replace all screws and and all lock washers with new.
Replace brush holder screws with new BRASS screws and new zinc coated split washers.
Install 4 new brushes in brush plate.
Pre-Test Armature on growler and check on lathe for straightness on both front and rear shafts.
Clean armature and take off ~10 thou on commutator surface or as needed for perfect brush contact on South Bend Lathe.
Mica undercut commutator ~20 thou.
Commutator final polished with 1500 polishing paper.
Remove babbit on rear bearing & Fit back shaft for new sealed ball bearing.
Replace Nose shaft bushing with new IMPROVED bronze bushing with neoprene seal to keep oil out of starter
Replace Bendix babbit bearing with bronze insert. Mill and hone on lathe for correct fit, alignment and clearance.
Re-Test Armature on growler for shorts after cleanup.
Fit armature into field coils for final clearance as needed.
Check end play of assembled unit.
Paint inside of all exposed surfaces with gloss black enamel

NOTE: ALL 10-32 and 6-32 screws and split washers in all locations replaced with zinc coated decorative flat-head screws just like were on the unit when new. Brush Terminal screws replaced w/ brass for better conductivity.

RUN-IN TESTING & ADJUSTMENT
Test fit reconditioned Bendix.
Run-in on bench to ensure all brush contacts are clean and true, bendix fits well and doesn't bind.

Solidly packed in a custom WOOD box that you use to ship your core back to me!
These come with a 90 day unconditional warranty included (which starts when you get it). If it fails, I refund your money, no questions asked.

I got 2 starters and 2 generators done by Jeff. He is a phenomenal person to deal with. I am running one of each now and putting the other ones in a car rebuild this winter.

Great work!

Thanks Guys! It's a blast to do these units. Half the fun was figuring out all the tooling.

COVID delayed my move. But, I just bought a house in Idaho, so we are moving now.

I have TWO more of these starters I've completed. These will be the last two until I get moved and situated.
