rebuilding a 8n starter

Jim Schofield	What els in involved in rebuilding a starter for a 8n. I know you have to replace the brushes and bushings, but how do you check the windings. The guy I bought my tractor from said he burnt up the starter when he tried to start it after a rebuild. What should I check for. Jim
Bob G	If it was damaged then you may be better off taking it to a starter rebuilder. changing the brushes and bushings is pretty straight forward, but checking all the winding gets a bit more envolved. You would have to check for open and shorted windings. A bit out of my league Good luck
Jim Schofield	Thanks Bob, I may just do that. I won't be doing much with it until spring anyway. Just thought I's try to get her started before winter. Jim
lha	Why don't you start with your crank handle.It is not as hard as you might think.Take the starter to a mom&pop shop[look in yellow pages under starter-alternator]they will do a better job,---lha
