I think most of my problems were due to the disconnected wire at the loose brush. The starter wouldn’t turn my 43 H with a most likely wore out X3 engine and 12 volts hooked to it.
I sorta followed the directions posted earlier. I went to my local auto parts store and they had a brush kit. I used some CRC electric motor cleaner and cleaned everything really well and inspected all the solder connections for cracks and breaks and didn’t find any.
I didn’t under cut the mica. The reason being is that I didn’t have to. Each grove was filled with dirt/gunk/brush material. But it wasn’t wore down. I took a box cutter blade and pushed it through the slots to get the grime out and then cleaned it up with motor cleaner. Then I polished it up a bit.
My Starter only has one bushing for the shaft at the bendix end of it. The other end doesn’t have one and the book at my local auto parts store doesn’t show one. Is that normal. I didn’t have much if any play at either end.
Everything appears to be working now with the 12 volt now. I didn’t feel like hauling my 6 volt battery up from my other H to test that last night. Next I need to figure out how to test the generator/regulator next.
Thanks again for you help so I could get this part working again.
