Hi i think this is the same 39 MT delco remy so i have 3 question brother : 1. What is the total length of the starter cos i have a miss info about it ? 2. How much is the rated rotation speed interval in rpm of this starter ? 3. Can i use 2 of this starter model 9 KW to crank Caterpillar C18 heavy engine used in industrial system ? I hope you can help me bro and i will be very appreciated thanks in advance 🙏
Thank you for the video. I just swapped one out, and want to rebuild it for a spare. Have you ever put a new Delco one on, then had a rattle coming out of it ? It doesn't sound like it is hanging up, but has a random clang coming from in the starter area. Going to pull it back off and check it out Monday, but curious if these starters could have issues even new.
My grounding lug snapped off and I'm having to replace the entire starter. I'm going to keep my old one and get a rebuild going. If I sent my starter out to be rebuilt, how much should I expect to spend on a good rebuild? Thanks!!
Could buy some time if that's what's wrong with it. (50-50 chance) If successful, another new solenoid would be necessary when the motor section expires. (1-6 months) normally.
I've searched all of RU-vid for a video on how to remove the pinion gear and shaft. It's hanging up and only slowly spins unless you pry it out with a screwdriver once. Then it will work one time. Just my luck the one thing I need to see, you skipped over.
We mainly cover what 99% happens or is serviceable at home without special tools. Sounds like the shaft is bent. If its chucked in a lathe, it can be seen. The average guy (which is our mantra) doesn't have that tooling. But don't run out and get a lathe, it needs replaced anyway.
It ended up being a lack of lubrication and a lot of dirt inside the Bendix housing. I was able to pry out the ring with a pick to get the pinion gear off. It was definitely a pain to get it reinstalled though. Cleaned and lubed everything up and it works perfectly now.
