I have a 1949 Chevy 6400 grain truck with a 235 in it. I am going to have to rebuild both the starter and the generator, so this video could not be more helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make a video of it for those of us who are just starting on the long journey of classic restoration.
I first want to thank you for taking the time to showing us thorough techniques in disassembly and assembly of the generator. In regard to the felt washer and retainer sequence the first thing I noticed was first reference was 1942-1948 where as I have a 1938 which might explain the difference. Maybe they, GM changed the sequence starting in 42. My 38 Chevrolet maintenance manual does not show a parts breakdown for the generator or starter.
Exactly the video I needed to see before I rebuild my 1950 Oliver 66 generator. Great work and thank you!
Thank you for the great video. When you get a chance, before you start it up, don't forget to polarize the generator.
Yes sir, I am certainly planning on that but thanks for checking up on me. Goodness knows I need it! Thanks for watching!
David polarize? Can you explain that to me
Working on restoration of my Generator and Starter in my 1948 International KB5 truck, which are exactly the same as the video! This will help tremendously. Great Video!
Nice!.. I too am working on my 1948 International KB5 :)
You make the most awesome videos on youtube maybe due to my age what great memories they bring back it seems all the type of work that you show I was taught many,many, years ago.Thank you
You're the kind of guy I prefer to hang out with. I spent a lot of my young life hanging out with my Grandpa in his auto service shop and grew up on stories about old cars and the crazy old coots that hung around the shop. Thanks for watching.
@@TheJayhawker Amen I was taught by my Uncle. When I got out of the Air Force back in the sixties, he was one heck of a mechanic.We mostly worked on the big trucks so the automotive end came easily and I sure do miss that. Love your videos
You are an “Old Soul” in a new body!
I give you a score of 98%! A very impressive score indeed. You can dial in your trade next time by using clean gloves that don’t transmit hand grease on surfaces & parts. 🙏
Thanks for the video. end bushing in my john deere 40 starter is giving me fits, I will try a nail and possibly bolt/tap.
Interesting watch. There are three types of field coils: Series wound high speed low torque, Series-Parallel wound medium speed and torque, and Parallel wound high torque.
In every case, the matter is simple. It is an educated short to ground. To promote the highest torque value requires the lowest possible circuit resistance, and therefore you
want the resistance of the field coils to be zero. In operation, carrying hundreds of amperes, the overall speed of the cranking motor is limited by brush location, and by the
ratio of the armature pinion tooth count-to-the-flywheel ring gear tooth count, frequently a 16:1 ratio. You mentioned a lot of the important considerations. To remove the bushings
from the drive end frame and the commutator end frame, you use a cape chisel. The felt washer, if equipped acts as a brake to slow the disengaged armature after cranking, and
to reduce seepage of the bushing lubricant, and one lubricant that works very well is Lubriplate 105. Your presentation was engaging and offered many good suggestions.
You seem like a guy I need to hang around with for awhile. Thanks for the input.
Quick tip, to remove a blind bushing. Tap it, use a nut(s) in the bottom of the hole, find a bolt that fits the newly tapped bushing. Tighten the bolt in stages adding nuts as you go. This worked well on my cast iron Delco Remmy end plate. Anything made from aluminum would be a prone to pushing the nut thru the aluminum cast.
I think the bushing was too thin to tap.
My dad switched his 1950 Chevy 4400 farm truck to 12 volts back when I was a teenager.
All he did was change the voltage regulator and all lights and put a resistor between the ignition switch and coil.
I believe it is actually easier on the starter because it starts right up , not after 3 or 4 turns. I still have the old truck and I’m getting ready to paint it soon as the weather is right.
+1 for pictures and bagging and labelling parts especially small screws, washers and shims etc.
I've watched several videos on rebuilding Delco Remy generators. All of them had the felt washer THEN the indexed shim, THEN the bearing.
this helped me with my 1955 GMC generator
Thank you for the helpful videos God bless
Really good video! I’ve always know about the generator! 😎
good to see another chevyoligist hard at there craft been working on bombs for 42 yrs
Totally excellent!
I replaced brushes and thought I did it big lol. The owner of this car should be good to go for another 70 years
Hey, great video!
About the felt washer. Obviously there has been a mistake in the information but as a student of “Old Timer” thinking I believe it would be good practice to place the felt washer away from the bearing. I feel like the felt would create problems with the bearing.
Thanks!!
Would like to see it tested after rebuild
Well done, even though there was no reverse polarity system. You know. Charlie
The blueing was from the bits of ultraviolet light in the starter and generator
Just finished my Generator..it had the felt washer first when I pulled it apart.
Do you mean the retainer was between the felt and the bearing?
@@TheJayhawker Correct
@@danielconklin6792 That's very interesting, I just don't understand how the bearing would benefit from the oil like that. When in doubt, put it back the way you found it I guess!
Great video!!!!
Would like to see it tested
So I cleaned all my ends the generator works well new voltage regulator. Sits at 0 but as soon as I run anything the needle drops and doesn't come back to 0 till I turn off the lights, heater or radio. Each unit drops the needle a bit. Help.
thank you for your video, with your video it will be a easy thing to rebuilt the alternator of my 1941 Pontiac ( converted already to 12V) , as I have noise at the radio I would like to add a condenser at the alternator but not sure how to hook up, do I need to connect to the field wire ? ..
Is there any advantage of using silicone grease instead on the splines and end bushings?
Don't use grease anywhere on starters and generators. It collects dirt and holds it, which is a bad deal for electrical motors.
hey Mr Jayhawker i have learned alot form your channel. where do u find these old 1930-40s videos at on youtube? they are awesome im my opinion very nostalgic 🙂🙂
How much pressure to use when checking deflection?
I noticed you hooked the cable to the positive battery terminal from the starter. If it is a positive ground system would the cable from the starter go to the negative battery post? Reference; 1953 GMC,, Wiring diagram..
Chevrolets are negative ground, but thanks for looking out for me.
Question I have 1950 dodge meadowbrook the generator it’s not retaining charge and drain the battery when I turn on light more likely the car turn off and I have to give a jump. What can it be I sent the generator to repaired
Here's a video where I deal with your problem on a '38 Buick special. Everything will be basically the same principle although I'm not sure off hand if your vehicle is positive ground.

would you know if its possible to convert one of these old pedal push starter and put a solenoid on it ?
I'm not sure, I've never looked into it. I wonder if a Buick starter from around the same year models would bolt up. They seem to be very similar and the Buick has the solenoid. All you would have to add is a push button in the cab if it does.
You could use a 50s starter on the car but you won't have foot start you'll have push button start also you have to space up your battery tray because it will hit the solenoid I did this to my 41 I didn't care for the foot button start because they developed connection issues
My starter 6v the driver turn but doesn't comes out or go inside but turns on
Hey buddy I hope I'm not bothering you but can you tell me where you got that sandblaster gun at I'd love to get me one it's better than having this big sand cabinet appreciate you buddy Good job thank you
The brand is called Ankylo (?) and if I know me, I bought it off of ebay. It has worked great for me, thanks for watching!
Under the headlights are those fog lights?
yes, aftermarket fog lights
Hi. Can you tell me please cable size for my 6 volts battery .
you want at least 00 gauge. If you have trouble finding that size locally you can order it from chevsofthe40s.com
Its a 12volt generator do i need to polarize it.
Yes polarize the generator by touching ARM to BATT momentarily with a jumper lead. With generators you won't show any charge at idle. Rev the engine up to about 1000 rpm and see what the gauge does.
Ok my starter was working out of the car and before I took it off I put it back now the new solenoid works but the starter doesn't spin the motor help with ideas please I don't wanna take it back off the grounds are good the engine isn't locked up charging battery right now was at 3.7 volts 500 cca
Not sure what kind of vehicle you're working with here. But if it's a 6 volt model, your battery needs to show over 6 volts with a meter for it to spin that thing.
@@TheJayhawker it's a 49 pontiac
@@TheJayhawker it's the battery thanks
Is that the same starter in a 49 pontiac 239
Ya, just opposite housing
6 volt not positive ground that’s interesting being used to Hudsons
Do you rebuild generators for customers.? Delco 48 Chevy. Can I get your address?
Yes sir, send it to my work address and I'll take it from there. Be sure to throw in your address and an email would be good too.

something is wrong. my 48 chevy had a 45 amp generator while my friends 53 chevy had a 30 amp generator(cheaper)
