Brian,
There is bound to be someone near Llano that still rebuilds starters, generators etc. I know there is one in Bryan that is good. Even if you have to go to San Angelo, Austin, or Marble Falls. Or a parts house that all the farmers use, not the local Auto Zone. A parts house should be able to look it up and get you a good replacement bendix without much problem. If the teeth on the starter are that bad what does your ring gear look like. Have you looked at the picture that Wes has in his photos that matches ring gear and starter teeth. Did the PO have the proper starter in it? _________________ R G Mutchler

Hi Ralph,
My early M38 has a replacement late block, sealed bell housing, and the closed nose 12 volt starter. Ring gear has 129 teeth.
I may need the bushings, but other than the Bendix teeth, and a little grime
the rest of the starter looks pretty good. Nice layer of varnish or whatever they used between the armature windings and on the poles. Lots of brush material left. If I can find a drive I'm inclined to put it in and call it good. It turned over and started the jeep easily before I pulled it.
Is it as simple as driving out that roll pin or will I need to pull it of with a puller? As I told my brother in law in Atlanta I wish we were closer. I bet you have a press in your shop. My T90 needs rebuilding.
Take care, _________________ Brian

You caught me. I looked at a few links found with the search
engine but they led me to only the photos of the starter and lists
of numbers. That roll pin was all that was holding it on.
I need to look at the manual for the clearances and also get myself an internal
caliper. I've got a decent Starrett and an off brand dial caliper,
but don't think the ID function on a dial caliper is good enough
for checking bushing id.
I appreciate all the help. I did find a few teeth on the flywheel
that need touching up with a file. I need to dress the face anyway
and I can replace the pilot bushing and get a look at the back of the
block.
Thanks again. _________________ Brian

The majority of new ECO friendly cleaners and solvents are junk. Just man-up and put your rubber gloves and eye protection on.
On another note many folks who just can't stand "Not mix & matching" parts will use a different Bendix tooth count on a starter from original to match their flywheel. Often this happens before a guy buys it used and when he installs it on his jeep he finds out the hard way the tooth count is incorrect. The 129 tooth flywheel uses a 9 tooth pinion gear. _________________ Wes K
