Very helpful, excellent video. My starter is for a 12.5 kw generator, and it is built a little differently than the one you used, but your video gave me the understanding I needed to get my brushes installed. Many thanks!

You my friend are a lifesaver! Struggled for 30 minutes before I finally found your video. Thank for your insight, you’re a saviour

Well you definitely helped me. Thanks for this very informative video. I now am absolutely positive that I can now install new brushes in my Onan generator engine. I am very appreciative.

Wow. You don't know how much I appreciate your video. I swear I thought I was an idiot because I couldn't get them all 4 to stay without one coming out. Thanks.

I have a different starter that's still in the car, but at least you've given me enough information to start. You've been very helpful to a lot of us who are surprised a video like this exists. Thank you.

Shot Bro!! Just about to fix my starter on my Chevy, your tip saved me A LOT of frustration.... Thanks for your video.

Excellent, thank you for sharing your wisdom with keeping the brushes in place when putting starter back together, making it much easier.

Thanks old mate, it helped big time. Such a simple thing can be such a pain. I had to tap the wires flatter so they go in & don't spin around & spit it back out while your dealing with the other 3.

I did a engine swap and did not notice where you connect the battery cable that post was hanging out of the starter, still works. I have worked on starters before, this little trick should make life a whole lot less painful.

Best mower starter rebuild video ever! No bs 💯 awesome. Thanks

Hell yah ! For those of us that have the ability to rebuild instead of going an buying new you just saved us a ton of money

Brilliant! So helpful and, the exact same starter I'm working on. Thank you.

Dude. Awesome video. You are a rockstar at explaining these kind of things. Very little, if any, unnecessary information included. Two thumbs up.

Awesome video. Thanks. I've fought with two of these. And have almost decided to just start buying new ones. But now, I don't. You've just saved me and my customers a lot of money.

Did this last year on my Tecumseh starter . Fought for about 40 minutes to get those brushes on even had to bring the wife in for another hand . Thank you for sharing this trick of the trade.

I did this on a Grasshopper mower starter. If this is the same size, I used a 3/4" pvc pipe. Fit perfectly. You can insert the pipe a little at a time while pushing back each bushing with your finger. The armature just slid in and pushed the pipe out.

Yea Zippo found out my motor is not rated for salt water but can be used occasionally as long as you rinse every use with fresh water which I did royally so the rubber o rings failed and I got a lot of what looked like rust but no signs of water so I have to replace two o rings and armature not too bad,so thanks to ure video I learned how!Thank You from a beginner!!

Nice work. Thanks for taking the time to show how this is done.

Very nice video! Now I just to figure out how to put my Onan Elite 140 starter back together. It's enclosed by a cover plate instead. Thanks for the ideas!

Zippo, nice vid, you make everything look so easy. thanks tom

Great video! helped me a lot! Keep them coming.

Thanks man you did a really good job telling and showing everything thanks again 👍

Great video...Wish I had seen it BEFORE I pulled out the end with the brushes! Now I'm trying to figure out how to get them back in place. I have an idea to keep the brushes from moving ahead...won't know if it worked until i try it. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks for proffesional talk ! It was much needed !

Nice video. I had a different approach myself. I put the squares,(forgot the official term), into the slots first, then put the core in next, and then clamped the springs down with my fingers and inserted them into the slot above the squares. Kept the squares from popping out while putting the core into position

very informative, thank you very much. my dilemma; the molded plastic housing holding the power stud to the casing has worn and I need to replace it.

Thanks! Bent paper clips worked also. Great video.

I use some of those tiny worthless allen wrenches for holding the brushes, but I didn't know the trick with the socket, thanks for that! Before the allen wrenches I made some with some big paperclips. The hardest part of the repair is removing that little clip, its maddening! I think there's a tool for removing it, I'm seriously considering one.

Great video. Sound is very good and camera work is excellent. Thanks

Great video. Always a struggle to get those brushes back in. I am right at the point of putting the brush plate back on and your method sounds perfect. Can't wait to go out and try it. My only question is, did you grease the shaft end cap before installing it? Thanks again.

I appreciate your info,I just pulled my electric shift motor off and accidentally blew it apart lol.but am going to fix today now I saw this video

Tiny Allen keys should work too.

👍 great video. You taught me something

Thanks 👍 hope I can fix mine thanks again for your help big thumbs up Dave

Thanks for the GREAT tip.🙂

I don't watch your channel ... until now. I'm trying to get the brushes back on myself on mower starter (one you're working on looks nearly identical to mine) and had the same idea of wire. I just wasn't finding any stiff enough. Didn't know there was such a thing as jeweler's wire. [Also found piano wire an hour later]. Only there's enough headroom on the brushes to allow the wire to slide under the bridge piece of the holder, so I need thicker wire. Or modify. Gives me a solid idea for a product.

Thank you for another awesome tip !!!!- 👍

I use 4 vise grips to keep each brush in place

Thanks a lot! I needed that real bad.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Great tip!

hey I don't have a lawn battery that has any charge, could I use a battery charger set to the jump starter setting to test my motor after it is rebuilt? also how could I find brushes/ a complete bottom plate? like does it have to specifically be a briggs and Stratton or would a general lawn equipment starter brush work?

I don't know yet if this is the starter I will be looking at, but great tips regardless.

Great. Thank you for helping

This video was helpful to me. Thank you my dear friend

I owe you a beer! Thank You!! Subbed...

WOW, Amazing many thanks

very well done!

Will starter run if the Only brushes are Smaller than the old??

Thank you dude

Great video now if I could only use this method on my trolling motor!!i can't!!Thanks for a idea though!!

It's EASY...once someone, that knows, shows you how. :) Thanks!!!

Great help

I used the jeweler's wire but may have nicked the brush surface on a few of the brushes (just small scratches), now there is a squeal every time I start the mower, could that be the cause? I also had to clean and super glue a few of the magnets in as they came loose when I rebuilt my starter, but I'm sure they are holding tight.

I have same one too im working on,a pain those brushes

Thanks. Interesting lesson for me.

where can i buy brush plate assembly-f150 2002 5.4 starter

I disassembled a starter for an 18hp opposed Briggs and used toothpicks to hold back the brushes, not nearly as nice as the wire

Yes thanks it helped me

This guy's awesome! Dude's dude:)

I'm going to have to use some small allen wrenches, don't have jewler's wire?

Easy and straight forward....

Thank You for the Great Video big help to everyone.Sir, Wer did you bought the brush plate ? Thanks you

Thank you 🙏

Thank you

do you know an easy way to remove and reinstall that little retaining ring that holds the starter drive together,, that's one thing that gives me fits every time?

Really helpful! Should have watched before the brushes sprang out, lol.

Brilliant

TOOTHPICKS OR WOODEN SHISHKABOB SCURE PIECES WORK GREAT FROM THE 4 HOLES FROM THE BACK

I wish I had a fraction your patients

very good

Hello I need your advice,,,,me I don't have skill to clean my starter..I have pontic sunfire....It will not start,,,every time I start the engine I see a.smoke from a starter,,,what do you think,,,its time for replacement? What tools do I need? For how long if I will do it myself...

Unfortunately I didn't see the trick about removing brushes the way ZippoVarga described. I had pulled out the end piece and as a result the brushes were left hanging there!! grrr. II came up with a solution using paper clips. I made four staple shaped "tools" that were just the length of the distance from the back of the brush holder to the front of the brush after I compressed it. Then I slipped a "staple tool" over it and did the same with the next three.The tool left enough space to slip the bushing holder over the commutator. Once pushed in a short distance I removed the clips and pushed the assembly all the way down over the commutator.. Job done!!

Wow ta for the information mate. Hope your doing good mate

Good job zippo

thanks!

I have a 2007 Craftsman DLS 3500 - 20Hp Riding mower , Wear on the starter can i find the part number# ?

Yes, but how to solder new brushes onto plate. Some places sell brushes only without plate

Great Video 100% OK Thank you very much
