3B starter rebuild (1 Viewer)

[BillyGHusk]

So with many thanks to TwoThirtyDirty, who is picking up and shipping me some parts from Lordco, I will be able to rebuild my starter off my 3B.

I pulled the starter and started disassembly.
I lucky have a spare that I am going to stick back on and see how if it works for now. This spare came with the rig and I have no idea how it works. Mind you I am pulling and reinstalling the starter while my 14 month old takes naps.....he only takes 1/2hour naps....little bugger...


So here are some photos for those out there that have never had a starter apart. I will post more when I get the new parts and have it going back together.

First the offending starter:

took mine apart and it seems the brushes in the motor are worn out.(the two positive ones anyways)...

anyone have a wilson part # or other Canadian part #for lordco/napa ?????

going to switch the one pos. brush for the one neg. brush(not as worn) and maybe get two of the four brushes to work will let you all know if this is a temp. fix or not. cheers. pic of brushes after switch was done

Any auto-electric shop should be able to do brushes. There's no rocket science there. If their brushes are too large a few minutes with a file will fix that.

yeah, I though of that but i would have to make them fit and use the old wire.. which is not as good as oem brushes w/wires attached. I have a guy at lordco here he is looking for me.

 

[cruiser_guy]

They should have the wires attached even at the auto electric place. There's not too many different ways to make brushes, just different sizes.

Got my parts from TwoThirtyDirty last week again many thanks go out to him!!

Havn't started putting the starter back together yet(family in town), but I thought I would throw the new regulator in.....however I can't find it...I have posted some photos of it....any thoughts where I should look? Again my truck is a FJ-BJ conversion.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

The regulator is in the altenator on top of the brush holder. Personally I'd stick it in the spare parts and install it when necessary.

is that an alternator regulator in the pic??...do i have all the parts for my starter? plunger, contacts and the brushes...hope so

the starter brushes are wilson 26-29-7534

 

[cruiser_guy]

is that an alternator regulator in the pic??

Yes, the voltage regulator from the altenator.

Why is the external voltage regulator found on a 74 so much bigger than what is pictured above? Because it's 24v?

edit:**got it to work new brushes were just stickin i guess...**

 

[MOTERRA]
