Propane would not get it hot enough to melt the solder as it was a cool day. Mapp is hotter than propane but not as hot a my acetylene torch. Practiced on the penny first by tinning it to see how quickly it would heat up and be bright when cool. Very fast so don't leave it on long.

I've got some NOS Ford 91A-10069 brushes in the original box ready to give to my rebuild guy this winter. They even have the Ford script and HH on the brushes.

BTW to the OP good luck with your rebuild, I took one apart and still can't figure out how to put it back together. Thats why I have someone else do it for me
