[AT] 8n Ford starter

[Herb Metz]

Irma; my experience certainly supports Mikes recommendations about clean 
grounds, good battery connections, and properly working electrical switches. 
Also your friend can clean and test the electrical wiring, grounds, 
connections, etc, and probably can not repair the starter. Checking the 
starter first can be more costly, and may be somewhat embarrassing if that 
isn't the problem.

Removing the starter isn't difficult, but there are a couple of things
to pay attention to. Here is one place with the instructions:
<http://www.ehow.com/how_8015246_remove-starter-ford-8n.html>, and there
are others.

Before he starts tearing into the starter, he should make sure that all
of the electrical system functions are in good order: Good battery that
has a full charge and is load tested, good clean grounds, the neutral
safety switch working properly (and shifter is in neutral), good clean
grounds, good battery connections, and did I mention good clean grounds?
