It is always fun to learn new hands on things.

Nice looking work. Wish more people did their own. If nothing else it would increase their knowledge and pride along with decreasing their cost. It don't take much skill to write a check and bolt on a new or rebuilt part a week later. Rod

I found that the problem in rebuilding was getting the rear bushing in an oversize bushing . Starters will drag if shaft is wore. My job was rebuilding in a shop in KC. before alternators . your ok with generators if you have rear bearing. Back in the day you could get the oversize.
