[AT] 12V DC motor.

[Cecil Bearden]

I will try to get a pic tomorrow.  I may have a brush holder left over 
from when I used to rebuild my own starters, alts and gens. I got so 
pissed with the rebuilt stuff and waiting on a good rebuilder that I 
bought the test equip and stands and the tooling to rebuild everything.  
I could rebuild a chevy big block starter and it would start a 454 in 
100 degree weather when it was running at 200 deg.

> Cecil, could you post pics of the brush holder arrangement.  I have cores from that vintage and if it's like the automotive/industrial starters I'll probably have a brush holder for you.  And I'm set up to expedite ship.  Yeah, most of the units I've seen like you describe are Ford as they had the shaft sticking out the end of the starter, thus easy to modify to drive something.  Often a winch on the front of someone's Jeep.  And if it's Ford and the insulation is shot on the holder, common failure, you have room to work to reinsulate it and use a small bolt if you don't have rivets handy.

Sometimes you can simply dry out the unit by separating it into its two main parts and baking them in an oven for a short while at a low temperature to remove any moisture. Then put it back together and test it on a bench. Don’t let the parts get too hot or you may damage the insulation on the wire and there’s no coming back from that. All you really want to do is try to remove any moisture.
