    At a time in this world when the "old guys" are retiring or well...you know...nice to see someone teaching younger folks about fixing stuff. As a early 40s mechanic myself...it's great to see not only young people like Rachel here getting the work done, but women getting into the trade, need more of this type of encouragement.

    I always like to keep the original component with the tractor when ever possible. The Mom and Pop starter and alternator shops that are willing to work on these. Are getting more and more scarce. This certainly shows how with a little time and few parts an original starter can be saved. You are a talented teacher/speaker. I espically thought the explanation how to orient the brushes in their holders was superb! Thanks, Gingells

    Thanks again - I followed your disassembly and replaced the Bendix drive in my starter and instead of making an awful noise and not engaging it works as it should. The horrible noise is gone and the Bendix engages all the time now. I also saw another video from someone else that used blocks of wood to pry the brushes back for assembly on top of a large soup/stew can :) worked like a charm ! Thanks again !

    First, great instructional video! It may be called something different where you're from, but I learned the parts of an electric motor as: rotor, stator, commutator, and brushes. Btw, if you're replacing the 'fields' you should see if the new fields have been properly matched. Use your ohmmeter to test in microohm range. Both should be very similar readings, ideally within 10% of each other. Love the video.

  • @jayss10
    @jayss10 Před 6 lety +13

    Another consideration as well that a lot of people sometimes overlook is yes a battery has a 12v charge but has a bad cell. For those that don't know a 12 volt battery has 6 cells (6 volt has 3 cells). Its common (particularly on older 12 volt batteries) to have a cell go bad and a owner charge the battery, stick a voltmeter on it, see 12ish volts, and say it's good. Basically the other cells are overcharged (on 12 volt battery each cell would only have to be .4 volts or so overcharged) making up for the dead cell voltage wise. What wouldn't be made up for is the lack of amperage. On a 600 CCA battery you're losing 100 CCAs of the battery. That's 17 percent of your cranking power. Really need to use a load tester on batteries to test them the right way particularly if they are older.

    I came looking for some nostalgia about the fabulous Ferguson 30 and 35,,, which models were So common on NZ farms in the 50s and 60s...still plenty of them around doing humble towing work. Here in Masterton we have John Deere, Deutz-Fahr, Kubota and New Holland-- all clustered in friendly competition just 4 Km from here, in this sheep farming, wine-producing region.
    An aside... a few months ago one 15 yr old girl i was tutoring said she wants to be a mechanic.. runs in her family... looking at her in her tall blonde elegance I said teasingly, "You can't--you'll break a nail." But good on her if she turns out anything like Rachel.

      There really isnt an exact specification for resistance in the field. Basically what you are looking for is a low number. If you have numbers above 100 ohms, you most likely have some wear. If it is an extremely large number or O.L. it's best to replace.
