bench test

[Stephen Newell]

I think a bench test isn't much help. I have a starter which I had professionally refurbished. I put it on the tractor and it won't begin to turn the engine over. It works fine on the bench though. Took it back to the company that refurbished it and they tested it and said there was nothing wrong with it so I guess I have a refurbished boat anchor. I put the other starter on it and that one works fine.

It always is interesting to me that some guys seem to not want you to know what they are working on. Often giving the info may have just been simply overlooked. But in some cases it certainly seems like some guys are very protective, like we could reach through the internet and horn in on their business. Or we would be at their door the next day wanting to buy their rare gem.

On the tractor is fine, just not on the bench.

Old-9, I had that happen on a Ford 292 starter drive, it unclocked itself and nothing I could do would let it go back. Part of the reason I ask, past bad experiece. thanks gobble

Used RedMn, no secrets here or hidden agendas, Its a Delco-Remy 1109604 7G 1:5 starter. NOW YOU KNOW. Goes on a 1949 B.F. Avery model V. So can I bench test it. Did all that information alter your answer, I doubt it. No one else needed to know all that to offer advice. I operate under the KISS principle, KEEP IT SHORT and SIMPLE. Have a good day. gobble

Turkeytom, you wrote: ''Someone has messed with it before as it has a big ole galvanized washer and nut that's not oem. Glad I tested it. Again thank you all. Will try and find the correct starter drive and go from there.''

You then wrote: ''No one else needed to know all that to offer advice.''

I have a collection of old Delco Service and Parts binders that occupies over 5' of shelf.

When you mentioned trying to find the correct parts I THOUGHT it was reasonable to ask what you were working on, with the thought of looking for the applicable manual when I had a minute.

But, I was obviously WRONG!

wore out, No you were not WRONG. I did not like the insinuation that I was hoarding the information made by another poster after
you. As I told him, its a Delco-Remy 1109604 7G 1:5 From a 1949 B.F. Avery model V. with a Hercules ZX engine. The starter
drive/bendix does spin outward toward the spring when power is applied. It starts rotation and spins as soon as power is applied
spinning the 10 tooth gear. My Hercules Manuel says when power is applied the gear spins out to engage the flywheel. When the engine
starts and the flywheel is spinning faster it forces the pinion back on the sleeve. At this point I'm not quite sure what is
happening, maybe I just need to install it, but I'm not ready to start the engine yet so maybe I just need to take it to the shop
that rebuild gen/starters/alts. thanks, now that this post is on the second page you probably won't see it. gobble
