Re: Model B starter broken

FWIW, I have an original model A starter ('30) , not rebuilt but cleaned/undercut mica/polished commutator segments. It has had the new barrel gear, as your does. It has run on 12volts for 15 years without a problem. I have always been informed that the 6V windings are heavier than 12V windings and will definitely work that way. Mine has. Make sure that the heavier 6V starter cables are used also. In my opinion, if your starter was working loose and run loose very long, that is the only way that I can see where the shaft would take enough abuse to bend/snap. I also believe that it must have had a fracture/imperfection in the shaft when made. Anyway, I have a rebuilt '32 starter that has been stored away for many years. If you cannot locate a source of another, pm me. |

Re: Model B starter broken
Grain structure infers improper heat treatment. As already mentioned, took 80 years to fail.
