Hi Friends,
My '53 TD's M35G starter rebuild is almost complete. B Everything is clean and
lubricated, where appropriate. B Bushes are just fine, oil soaked and their
journals are smooth.
What I did discover is that the brass terminal post is not soldered to the
field windings! B The two flat conductors from the field, were just pinched
into the slot in the inner end of the post. B They were quite grimey at the
contact point, so they've been like this for quite a while.
Reviewing the workshop manual today, I see that the flat conductors should be
(apparently) soldered to the post. B Can you verify that is correct? B
Considering the current drawn, I can't imagine that a simple press-fit
connection is valid - but I could be wrong. B Your thoughts?
