The commutator on my Super M's starter looks like the surface of the moon. Brushes are shot and the starter doesn't work worth a hoot.
I remember as a kid going over to my grandfather's place one evening with Dad, and watching Dad clean up an armature on a little hand-cranked lathe.
Right now we're both kicking ourselves for letting that lathe go at the estate auction in 1989, but at the time, who knew we'd need it 23 years later?
There are a couple of these lathes on ebay right now, but they only include one collett. I don't want to spend $50 or $125 on a shelf decoration.
Are the shafts on the commutator ends of starters and generators pretty much all the same size?
