I have a Farmall 460 D that we bought after it suffered from an electrical fire. It had set for a year or 2 after the fire. I believe they had pulled the battery cable off to stop whatever caused the fire, and then used water to put out the loom,chaff,grease,etc. I rewired it, got it running, but had to pull start it, as the starter would turn, but had a huge amp draw. Well, I tore the starter apart, and it was solid rust inside. I believe that when they sprayed water on it to put the fire out, it got inside the starter and just laid there, rusting it over time. I took it all apart, and laid it out in order, cleaned up the brushes, sandblasted the housing, the brush holders, and the metal parts that hold the "windings"(can't remember the proper name), to the housing. I'm pretty sure I got them back in the right way, I was told they have to go a specific way, but I may have got them mixed up during reassembly. Anyway, I checked all the electrical parts for open circuits and/or for being grounded out. I put it back on and it spins GREAT!!! Only it spins the wrong direction now... Did I somehow get the brush and or brush holders hooked up the wrong way? I'm usually pretty good at understanding how a starter and electrical stuff works, but it just seemed that all of the brush holders went back only in one spot, and wouldn't go in any other spot. But I'm not an electrical engineer or electrician like many of you either. Thanks!!
