After fixing the engine, this starter is now installed in my car - working fine up until now :)

Savage amusement for Model A owner without hope of an engine replacement! Brilliant therapy by any measure. 😫

I love your videos and I’m impressed that you run a Model A so far from the USA. Also I’m amazed that Warner Brothers hasn’t complained about your intro! All the best from the Alamo A’s San Antonio Model A Ford Club

Excellent Sir! Very enjoyable, wonderful you are going to put that rebuilt starter to the test.

Excellent work and I really like the use of the old tools to repair the old starter. Should be good for another century now.

Excellent work, your Model A is incredibly lucky to have found itself in your hands. Well thought out and beautifully executed!

You have WAY more patience than I have (a prerequisite for machinists, I believe!) I'm always fascinated by the way some things (like a starter motor/Bendix drive combination) remained in use virtually unchanged for so long. I'm enjoying all of these videos because watching you sort out problems with ancient, rusted mechanisms using penetrating oil, brute force and "creative" language is lots of fun (in a "better you than I" sense!)😂 Thanks for this.

Thanks for taking the time to film your work. I know how much extra effort it is! Really appreciate it.

Fun video Adrian...it has been a couple of decades since I rebuilt one of these old starter motors...was enjoyable to watch the process...particularly seeing you clean up and reuse parts we used to throw away when replacements were to be found at the rebuilder's shop in nearly every small town here in the 1980s....HaHa

Another great video Adrian, Thanks for taking the time to make these for us! Looking forward to seeing the new engine arrive!!!

I thing the spare (new) bendix you have could be a very nice gift to someone you don't like :)

Another great bit of overhaul and video work. Funnily enough, I've just spent the afternoon working on my own "A" starter. Here's hoping you find some luck with your engine soon, it's nearly impossible to find competent help anymore.

Brilliant! Always enjoy your videos Thank you thank you thank you! Can't wait for the next one.

Love that soldering set. As long as you are running 6volts to that starter the orig bendix will be fine. I'm running 6v on an original bendix with no issues. Best Upgrade I did for mine was 2/0 cable for starter terminal and ground. Hope you get your motor back soon!!!!! Oh great choice on music as always.

Your Videos always have impeccable flair and a nice vibe. As a tip for the 4 big flat head screws: Whenever i redo one of the starters or generators at work we insert a metal cylinder that‘s just big enough to slot inbetween the coil carriers/anchors, to prevent the housing from loosing shape due to hammerblows. Then i take a tool that is almost like an oldschool impact gun. You can use a 1/2 inch socket with a fitting big flat head insert on it and strike the other end with a hammer. It will rotate and transfer the impact at the same time, loosening the screw. Sorry for the shitty description, i don‘t know the name for the damn thing. Best of luck with your endeavours, thank you for keeping history on the road, especially in Germany, from a fellow German :)

Super Video, hat mich an die Motorkolonne bei Mannesmann in Düsseldorf-Rath erinnert, in den 60er Jahren.

I didn't know that the "Mortadelo y Filemón" comic was known in Germany; now and after a search, I know that there they were called "Clever & Smart". Here I learn about machining stuff... and other arts

Summers coming, got to get that engine back. 👍👍👍

Really enjoy you using the old tools --- not all is forgotten ----- How much clearance should one give the Armature and Field? Thank you for a Starter Video ------ The man in your Video is just North of me aways ----- George Sage ----- Thanks Again --- Rodney

Great video, I believe the cotton you used is a cotton “binding”. I work in developing bags and we use various binding materials to finish off certain seams that come together. Anyway..

Great rebuild Adrian! Everytime I see you use that blow torch with the "flaming leak around the top fitting" it freaks me out like it is going to explode at any moment lol!💥

You do all that in a nice suit. You’re braver than me.

Very informative - and entertaining.

I could be wrong, but I think at 25:20, instead of machining down the armature, the ideal approach is to use an exhaust pipe expander to squeeze the field coils against the case. This issue occurs frequently in generator restorations, and there's some documentation online about using the pipe expander, aka an expanding mandrel, to correct it.

Do you know the right rpm of a 6V starter? my 12V starter hits the fly-teeth way too hard, even though it has gotten 12V stator coils. I have not taken out mine yet, but want to measure its rpm for comparison. It has the aftermarket enclosed bendix drive, but we will try with old one to see if that helps. I replaced the drive because a bolt-head was knocked off, and of course landed at the most impossible place in the housing. Took a camera + 2 hours to get it out.

Thanks again for another nice video! But, as a certified mecanic, i have to tell you, you sadly missnamed the part, you recently restored.😁 In Germany, we don‘t call it „Schub-Schraubtrieb-Starter“. There is no solenoid who pushes the starter-pinion via a lever (fork), upwards into the spiral gear of the shaft. Your Starter-Motor is just called “Schraubtrieb-Starter“. Thanks 😋

You sped thru the important part of how to get the end cover with the brushes on over the communtator. I can seem to get the springs up and out of the way to slide the cover on. How did you do it? I tried slo-mo on your video but couldn’t see it. Thanks, great video!

俺も同じことやります。動画参考になりました。THANK YOU👍️

about 5:15 this is a great choice of music

Muy bueno,pero hoy no tuvimos subtitulos

Will the starter turn the same way with reversed polarity?

wieder eine fantastische arbeit! mich würde interessieren wie viele stunden du dafür am tag investierst. oder auch wie viele tage du für den anlasser gebraucht hast, könntest du sowas bitte mal in deine videos mit einblenden das wäre super. gruss roten...🤩👍👍👍

nice video . i have 100's of new old [vary old] stock Bendix drive spring bolts and locks that i would like to find i new home for .just the bolts and locks .

Is there any part of the car you are not able to work on I have seen you have taken on most of the car

Bin vor kurzen über den Kanal von Edd China (der lange Lulatsch und Schrauber vorm Herrn aus "Die Gebrauchwagenprofis/Wheeler Dealers) hier bei YT gestolpert. Ich fand's sehr cool. Könnte auch was für dich sein.

That stuff is called seam tape.

You should buy a "Shake and Break" When all else fails to remove a screw. the "Shake and Break" will succeed.

Should pull brush tru window before removing tru bolts, no need to remove pole shoes unless shorted. Had to quit watching. You’re doing it the hard way.
