(8)  Slide  spring  (35),  pinion  gear(34)  and Stopper (33) onto shaft. Position  retaininq  ring (32) in groove on shaft and pull stopper over ring to secure it. A bearing puller tool may be required. (9) Place bearings (16) and (18) on the armature shaft, and insert armature into the center  bracket.  Slide  Stator  (15)  over  armature and into center bracket. Align stator to bracket by fitting tab on stator into notch on center bracket. (10) Place brush holder (14) with brush springs (12) in place, over the  communtator  of the armature. Lift each brush spring (12) and insert brush (13) into the guide on the brush holder (14). (11) Place rear cover (11) over brush holder and against stator (15). Rotate slighly and align threaded holes in brush holder with holes in cover. Secure brush holder to cover with screws (10). (12) Pass thru studs (9) through rear cover (11)  into  tappd  holes  in  front  bracket  assembly (37)  and  secure. (13) Place washers (7) on thru studs, place terminal bracket assembly (8) on studs and add nuts  (6). (14) Place spacers (4) on solenoid switch (5) and align solenoid plunger slot over lever (30). Secure solenoid and spacers to front bracket assembly (37) with screws (3). (15) Install field coil lead from stator (15) onto lower threaded terminal of the solenoid (5). Secure with nut (1) and washer (2). J.  Test  after  Repair/Overhaul.  Style  I  Starter (1) After the starter is assembled, check the armature end play by inserting thickness gauge between thrust washer (27) and pinion housing (28). See figure 5-1. It should be bet- wen 0.005 and 0.035 inch. Adjust end play by adding or removing thrust washers (27) on the commutator end of the Armature. (2) Check pinion gear clearance. See figure 5-13. Proper clearance is important to insure starter  engagement.  To  check,  press  on  solenoid plunger to shift pinion gear into full mesh posi- tion.  While  holding  plunger  in,  measure  clearance with feeler gauge (4) between pinion gear and step.  The  proper  clearance  is  0.096  +0.030/-0.020 inch.  Adjust  clearance  by  turning  solenoid  plunger link (1) in to decrease gap, or out to increase the  gap. See figure 5-13 cutaway view. Reinstall the pin (2) and cotter pin (3) securing plunger link (1) to yoke.

(1) After starter is assembled, check the pinion gear travel to ensure proper starter enga- gement. See figure 5-14. (a) To measure, provide as 24 volt DC power source, such as battery. Connect the positive“+” battery  to  the  solenoid  terminal  (S)  with  a electrical  lead  that  includes  a momentary   switch. (b) Connect the negative “-” battery ter- minal to the ground terminal (G), with electrical lead. (c) Remove nut and lockwasher from terminal (M), than remove and secure lead (L) away from the solenoid. (d) Close and hold the momentary switch to apply power to terminal (S) forcing the solenoid plunger to pull the lever and move the pinion gear forward.  Measure  the  distance  between  mounting surface of starter front bracket and outer edge of pinion gear to determine the maximum travel(X). Release the power source and the internal springs will  move  lever  to  original  position,  returning the pinion gear to its at rest position. Measure this  distance  (Y).  The  difference  between  measur- ement (X) and (Y) should fall within the nominal travel distance (Z) of 17mm + or - lmm. Change  8 5-11
