Hello everyone, I've got a quick question. How difficult would it be to put new brushes and a bendix in a Delco-Remy starter for a SM? Can it be done at home, or should i just find a shop locally and have it rebuilt? Thanks for your time and help!

Like mentioned below, be SURE to get some new bushings for both ends of the armature while you're in the parts store. They seem to wear out as fast as brushes on most starters and will sure make 'em not work right. Just drive the old ones out with a punch and drive the new ones in slipped over a bolt that'll just fit in 'em.

Thanks Everyone, I think i'll take it apart, and try it, when i get some free time. Parts should be easy to get, i think.. I have a local parts supply store, and there great at locating old tractor parts.

What everyone else has said is true. I'll just add that if your starter has the original style of starter bendix, the replacement will look totally different.

Ive got 5 starters I have to rebuild from broken bendix syndrome!! 4 of them are typical 2 bolt, they have a long spring with 2 bolts that hold the 2 ends. Keep sheering off the bolts! I have a Super H that has the starter switch on the starter activated by the foot lever, I remember seeing it had a different style bendix. Did the 2 bolt starters on the Supers have different bendix on them? 2 of the starters are firing up stroker engines. 12 volt, 1000amp battery. ( I try to be nice on em I swear!) ( H farmalls) the other is a Super M, 12 volt conversion, same 1000amp battery, its suddenly sounds badly after waking it up from its winters nap, clashing sounds,,, ( the starter not anything else) The Super H has been acting up too, and its a small 525 12 volt battery,,, The 5th is will be a spare for when I have bendix syndrome attack this summer at the tracks. Is there a heavier duty bendix available? I break 2 a year and new brushes every season on the stroker starters. The Sm and SH are stock, needing attention, just looking to do this with the best parts on the Super H and the SM. My H engine is bad on starters,,, new starter rings on it, when I first built 10 years ago, just locks up in the gear, and I hear the armature still turning, Opps, there goes another!!! Snaps the bolts that holds that slinky like spring.

If it is an original starter & has never been worked on, be sure to check the condition of the commutator. If it's not fairly flat,& the mica needs undercut, you may want to take it to a shop to get it trued up. Otherwise, have at it. You'll do OK.

check the bushings in the starter too . if they are worn and you have slop in the armature on either end, the starter will draw a lot of amps when cranking. napa has replacement bushings.

I think I did my first one at age 15, no help from anyone. You ought to be able to do it.

They are not hard to install. I have not done it in a while, but the parts use to come with installation instructions.
