F Head Starters

Not really sure where to post this. Don’t really want to get into a tech discussion. Maybe others can and will but…..

…..so the remaining F head starters that no one wanted….I decided to give myself a lesson on them by taking them apart to save usable wear items that I will never need or use (yea, I’m stupid for wasting my time on it…a lot of time) and scrap the copper. If I were a religious man I would most certainly believe that there is a special place in the bowels of the earth reserved for the man or men who designed and approved said design of these starters. What a PIA to take apart. I suppose there are special tools for just such a job. I don’t have them.
Anyone planning to service one of these, be prepared for frustration and an unforecasted amount of time to do the job. Or maybe I’m just a beeg dummy.

 

I understand they make good motors for waste oil pumps.

 

sound like a regular work day

 

If it was fun they would not call it work…. Lol

 

I love the one I got from you Dave, It works fine, just needs a Bendix, it cranked my Jeep motor just fine. Thanks Again.

 

Bendix or selenoid?

 

Solenoid, Dave, the Bendix is good, started my motor right up. Thanks again, Rick

 

Not sure you can get the field coils out without a poleshoe vice.
