In this video I'm going to show you how to make, and use, simple metal clips to get the brushes back into the brush holder assembly on your Briggs 693551 starter motor.
Simple, but brilliant. The brushes are now back in! The hardest part was finding the 2 paper clips in my house.
Brilliant -- saved me time, money, and sanity (what's left of it). Thanks so much!
This is by far the easiest method to do this. I struggled for about 20 minutes with a small flathead screwdriver and eventually got it. I wish I would have seen your video first & avoid the hastle. Excellent video, thanks!
Great video and explanation. Already bought a new starter but I will rebuild the old one for a spare. I have two JDs; One is L111 and other a D110. Both look like the same starter. I used to rebuild starters 30 years ago. Now that I'm retired I have the time. Where there is a will there is a way.
Just tried it. More difficult than you make it seem. I think I was not precise enough in creating/bending the jigs. I'll watch your video again and get it done on the next attempt. Your video shows you getting it easily. How many times did it take you to get so proficient? Well thanks again.
I cut a 3 inch by 4 or 5 inch piece of aluminum from a beer can....roll it up the the same diameter as the commutator by wrapping it around it then put a piece of tape right around the bottom where it goes around the commutator, pull it off and manipulate the other end into a funnel shape then tape it put it back on the commutator and slide the brush assy down over it allowing the funnel to spread the magnets open until its over the commutator....they actually sell different sized "commutator brush cones"....that save a lot of hair from being pulled out....but theyre no fun....ya gotta make it man, ya gotta make it....plus it gives you just one more good justifiable reason to keep some bud light around the house
Huh, commutator brush cones, never heard of them but I'll definitely check them out! Thanks.
I was just wanting to move the switch on my model engine hand starter, and, when taking the bolts off, the whole endbell popped off, brushes and all. I was just wondering how would I get the brushes back in place. Thank you for the video. What a great technique!
DUDE!!!! I wish i watched this video last night. I had a nightmare of a job trying to do this with small screwdrivers today. i will defo be using this method in the future. you sir are a legend :-)
😂😂👍🏿👍🏿
That trick using two paper clips is a very nice idea and you make it easier to fix it without any trouble. Thank you very much for the idea.
DUDE YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! Thank you for sharing your skills, knowledge, and tips! 🎉🎉
Excellent, thank you. I spent an hour trying to get the brushes in place manually. Not sure I did it right. I'll try again.
I do the same thing but with windshield wiper metal. I save everything metal and the metal that comes with wipers work great. It's more flat and "springy".
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you ! Even the quality of the video shooting is really Excellent ! Great job.
Hao Truong Trong You're welcome!
Great video. Perfect example of the saying work smart not hard amd the production quality is on point. Best starter video I have seen. Everyone should watch this!!! I would say genius but the wheel trumps you kind sir
Glad it helped and thanks for the kind compliments!
Just what my husband needed! Perfect. Thank you.
Wow! I've been fighting this type of installation for years. What a great way to recess the brushes! Thanks!
You have mastered this fitment. Well done ❤
Brilliant, as noted below. If you're conserving time, bump the playback up to 1.5. It's perfectly understandable. Again, brilliant, and I am soooo thankful I found this!
Clearly explained, well filmed - you have saved me a great deal of trouble! Thanks
Glad it helped!
I too have used the 4 individual retainer stick, pick, screwdriver, wire method. Now I have another custom tool for futures services. It's a simple job that saves money, before I always dreaded it for the brushes PITA. I often come up with tricks myself, why that never dawned on me IDK. Thanks again.
Okay, a simpler way to hold the 4 springs/brushes in place is to use some very long thin lengths of plant twist tie wire (thin, green coated wire available on Amazon). Cut an extra long length of wire for each brush. Thread the wire thru housing, hold in place with finger tip while pulling it tight against butt end of brush with other hand. Twist it tight to compress brush and spring. Do this with each of the 4 brushes. Then position unit and slide commutator back in place. Once it's all together you can cut each twist tie and pull it free. The plant twist tie wire was thin enough to allow for clearance. No camera when I did mine, but it worked, ...and my Tecumseh snow blower starter motor is good to go.
Excellent!
Thank you. I spent 3 hours and got nowhere. Now with your advice it took 15 minutes. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks for saving my motor which was about to be launched into outer orbit.. Great Video..Life saver.
my starter brush holder didn't have the holes. I found that a short 3/4" pvc pipe worked perfectly. It fit the hold just right. I pushed the pipe in gradually while pushing the bushing back with my finger. The armature fit in just right and pushed the pipe out at the same time. Very easy
That's really cool! You should make a video, it will probably help people who have the brush holder like you have.
As a grandfather, I hear a baby in the background of your video. What a wonderful thing, to have a precious baby to care for.
Hi buddy. Thanks for this. Really simple solution. My husband had been trying all morning to get the darn thing together and then I found this video. He had it together in a few minutes. He was complaining cause he wanted you to hurry up and show him. I gave him a beer and he was fine. Lol. So thanks again.
Haha, well glad you found it useful and got everything put back together!
*****
that's the exact same starter and yours was the first vid I clicked on so all in all it saved him a lot of time. He's a mechanic too so he'll use it again.
Great, thanks!
Fitting new starting Gilar 125cc 2003 scooter what side of the bike
I just rebuilt mine, and I used zip ties to stick through in front of the brushes through the top of the cap and when I put it on I was able to just pull out the zip ties, good video!
Good idea!
Glad to see that it worked for you. For me, in effort to find a paper clip of sufficient dia. to hold the spring loaded contact in place, I broke a piece of plastic off the cap. Game over as that piece of plastic was the bottom guide for the spring. So a trip to the parts shop, and a 38 dollar charge to the old debit card, and problem solved. New bottom cap (unfortunately still made of plastic) with new brushes, with the retainer clips for the contacts already in place. Oil the bushing and armature shaft, slide it on, insert and start the bolts, then pull the retainer clips. SAVE THE RETAINER CLIPS... in case you have to do this again. Thanks for the video... it was worth a shot... and I am sure others have had better experience with this process. Side note: the guy at the parts store commended me in that, minus the spring slide piece of plastic, my cap was in one piece. Evidently 60 seconds with a framing hammer seems to be the preferred method of surrender. Just wanted to share that.
Well, that's 60 seconds well spent! lol Thanks for the story and tips!
Hahaha.........coincidently, I was looking for the perfect way the whole afternoon how to do it!!! Thanks bro! Hopefully i'll be able to put back together my scooter starter tomorrow. Thanks again.
THANK YOU!!!!
this saved me from losing my cool and taking a sledgehammer to my mower 😏🤯🙋🏿♂️
Hell yeah, I know what you mean! Glad it helped.
@@baxrok2. lol
YOU"RE the most beautiful part of this whole thing!! You are a BLESSING! Thank you!
you are awesome!! thankyou!! cause my thumbs and fingers are hurting so bad and im about to throw this starter out my window, damm! this is the hardest thing i ever had to do on a car. im so happy i came on youtube seeking help! you are truly great! and im very much appreciate you teaching me and thanks! my friend!
Just watched your video. I used some stiff wire. Didn't have paper clips. Works like a charm! Thanks
Awesome! Glad it helped.
I just did mine. I held them in with 4 finishing nails then sat the assembly in place and carefully pulled them out one at a time while pressing down
Excellent, I have serviced several, several starters over the years. As far as comments of being long winded I wonder how dam long they fought with it before finding this perfect video. Great job on your first video. One thing i did was grab the first thing I saw to get the radius in clips, a hammer head. Lol. Thanks!
Yeah, its definitely a bit long but I had fun making it. Thanks!
When I first saw this, I laughed at it. But, after fighting with it, I did it exactly as shown and worked great! Thanks.
Great vid for a frustrating issue. How about putting in the wires before you pull the brush holder out ? Thanks for making life easier.
Yes, you most certainly can do that before taking the starter apart.
That was excellent and thank you for posting this video. I had to do this before seeing this video and I had to ask my neighbour to come and help me. We had a difficult time. Your presentation was 5 stars*****.
Thank You. That is thinking outside the box. I never even thought of that. My thought was a Brass insert. So, Thank You again.👍👍
Now gentlemen, it's my turn to deal with these cursed things. See you in Valhalla!!
Ok then ...got er done your way... worked pretty slick... not nearly as quick as you.... but knew from your video it would work... so... back together now... Thanks again
Wow, that was amazing. I was afraid to take the back plate off my snowblower starter, but not anymore. Thanks! I have an excessively long power cord coming from the starter to the switch box, which I’d like to shorten, and I needed to see how the cord was attached in there. Great explanation, and the clarity of the video was very helpful. Just subcribed, too!
Thank you! I just got done with mine. I might have been out there for days.!!!!!!
Absolutely simple and well explained...great job, saved me some $$...Thank you, sir!
Great! Took me a couple minutes to reassemble after watching your video. (A little long winded). Thanks so much.
Nice!
A little.....ultra long winded 😞
Thanks mate from Aus, you have saved me some stress!
Worked great Once I found some wire that would work it took about 15 minutes. Thank you
Thank you. Simplifies only having 2 hands for this job
Thank you, thank you, this video made my day, thanks again
Brilliant tutorial and I thank you for superb teaching skills. My vovlo 240 wiper motor does not have holes for the clips. Any suggestions by you or other viewers appreciated on how to hold the 3 brushes back?
Perhaps you could find a sleeve of some sort that is the same approximate diameter as the wiper motor shaft and put it in the hole to hold the brushes. You would still have to manually push the brushes back in order to get them over the sleeve, but I don't really see any other way other than trying to do them one at a time which is very frustrating. Another possibility is to perhaps drill some holes of your own through the brush holder so you can get small pins/wires in place. Just be careful where you drill them so you don't disturb any connections. It shouldn't take much to hold smaller brushes back. Let us know what you do to get them in!
@@baxrok2. Firstly thank you for the timely response. Will be doing the job soon and let you know which method I used, and consider your input. You are two for two; excellent video coupled with a reply back to questions. It is authors like yourself that make youtube invaluable to us students.
@@baxrok2. Just to let you know I got the brushes back into place. I was successful in getting 2 volvo wiper motors back on line. Motor had clips holding springs in place. To assist easier insertion of springs and clip holders I hot glued the springs to the clips, and then re inserted them into place. Thanks again for your superb video. Yes your teaching skills are valuable to us students in the you tube classroom!!!
Smart move. Thanks
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing this.
Glad it helped!
Most excellent hack. Thank you!
Nice Job Dax. Easy to follow and thorough. Cheers! Zip~
ZippoVarga Thank you sir!
Saved me a new starter
Great video I've done similar with tooth picks and paper clips as well and it is a pain doing this by hand but it can be done with a seal pick. 😁
Thank you soo much I was so close just to buying a new starter
I was trying towork it out. Brilliant
Man your video is awesome. You have just saved my pain in the ass. Thanks.
Thx,,,I would have had trouble getting it back together without the clips
Very detailed...I could always get three in place...the fourth ... well shit... I'll give this whirl tomorrow...Thanks man...
Socket or pill bottle lid works as well.😮
O U S T A N D I N G! Answer to a prayer. Thanks a lot.
Thank-you...Thank-you...THANK-YOU
All you need is 4 Tooth Picks. I have the EASY How To Video if anyone needs it, ask!

Brilliant, simle video, worth the time to watch the whole thing. Thanks..
peter charles Thank you. I hope it helped!
Fantastic information. Well done. Thank you.
Excellent! Thank you.
We have a rewind button. Haha.
4 thumb tacks are all ive ever used. Seems a lot quicker and easier then this
Beautiful man just simply Beautiful. Thanks for that education tip.
You can use toothpicks instead of the metal clips if that is all you have laying around.
Brilliant!! Thank you!
Awesome Dude 👍👍👍
Great video. Saved me lots of time. Wish I would have watched it an hour earlier. LOL
Congrats!
Damn kinda wish I saw this before I sent mine to get rebuilt lol
Nice info. thanks for your effort.
You are very smart 🧠 thank you for the great video.
I love it! Thanks for showing this!!
Paperclips? I'll have to go out and buy some as I haven't used any for years.
Use an Ice cube to hold them back until you get them over the commutator. Then let the cube melt and push it on the rest of the way.
well you can use this most excellent method for holding the brushes back while you attempt to shove an ice cube between them lol
Thanks for your help
Works like a dream
Had the same problem as things worked out one of my medication containers fit perfectly in the hole. using my fingers one by one the container was in ( 2 min effort ) then slid the hole works on trading places by sliding and vola !! she's on..rolled up paper would also work with a hollow in the middle.
That's a great way to do it! Thanks.
your welcome pls make more video your fantastic
Good and simple...using you head for more than just keeping your ears apart, as the say where I am coming from.
Thank you!
i ground down a black plastic pipe to fit in the opening and hold the brushes open. i think i will try your method instead. as soon as i find my lost spring.
nice skills - didn't need 18.40 to show & tell
Yeah, but I wanted to show and tell. So I did.
Thank you 🙏 very much
Brilliant
Very clever.Thank you.
find a piece of pvc pipe thr right size t fit that center hole before you pull the brush plate off so that the brushes stay in place read next coment to reconnect
thank you for the demo.
I think I know the answer before I even ask But to be sure I will ask. I just got a used riding mower. The starter has a wire that comes out that goes to the solenoid. Well this one looks like it was pulled out of the starter. It is still attached but the wires are just dangling out. So I am guessing that I have to replace the starter. OR see if I can find and buy that end cap and replace it. I know when you go to take a starter off, you take a wrench and grind down the sides because that back nut is narrow, the one closest to the starter. Hold that nut. Then use a another wrench to take off the out side nut. I think that is what happened to this one. Am I right or is there another fix ?
You should be able to buy a replacement end cap.
@@baxrok2. Thank You for the reply. I got it taken apart and the magnets on one side are all cracked up and a chuck of magnets is missing. I suppose that is where all the black looking dust came from. The other side of the magnets looks like the armature has rubbed against it. So I just bought a new one. Again Thanks for the reply.
A less complicated and time consuming process is to use toothpicks😮.
great video thank you so much JEZ
Great video...wish i would have seen this before my brush holder mysteriously went to pieces...oops.
This trick it doesn’t work on 8 brushes starter I normally tie them with then wire and cut a pull them out later
Absolutely excellent! TY Liked it.
Great, thanks!
mine has no access and the springs are flat and curled, got 2 tied down & 2 to go
got the other 2 tied back today, reassembled & working. I used some waxy string that came from an old school phone repair/install guy but I think some thick waxed floss would also work
