COVID delayed my move. But, I just bought a house in Idaho, so we are moving now.
I have TWO more of these starters I've completed. These will be the last two until I get moved and situated.

Amazing museum of military WWI -present
Normally I'd post this in off topic, but there's model T's in this video, so it is relevant! And it's probably the most incredible military collection in the world. It's a 12 minute video, but worth it. You could spend days in this place and not see everything. Wow. https://youtu.be/9hUl5Fz1jOg 1200...

Re: Model T generators and Starter measurements
If you have halogen headlamps or your wife has connected her hair dryer to your car (or some other power hogging device) all the above does not apply. Jeff Chuck made a simple instrumented Prony Brake to take the starter measurements on the chart i posted. But my wife demands to use her hair dryer,...

Re: Modifying Model T starters to operate on twelve volts
Many years ago Chuck Brant and I conducted some instrumented tests to ascertain the operational characteristics of 1.) original Model T starters operating on six volts, 2.) six volt starters running on twelve volts and a six volt starter with the field windings rewired from series/parallel to full ...

Re: 6v to 12v model T starter conversion
By the way I disagree with our beloved “assistant to the grand pobar” on the generator. Thr generator can reliably put out 6 volts at 10 amps, equivalent to 60 watts. At 12 volts it will overheat badly if the wattage is increased too much, to say 12 volts at 10 amps. I personally have found generat...

Thanks Hank! Starters are tricky! Lots of things can bite you, especially when doing all the bushings. Here’s all my tooling I’ve come up with. I’m not fortunate like Steve Tomaso to have the complete Stevens starter & Generator rebuild kit. Trial and error and lots of reading/studying landed me her...

I do! I now have all the tooling to do both now. And I can also do 12v conversations. I also replace the worn out Babbitt bearing in the starter snout with a bronze bushing on the starters and use the same meticulous rebuild method on the starters as I use on the generators. There's just a lot more ...
