Classic AC Delco (i.e. Chevy) 10MT Starter Rebuild

Why buy a questionable import rebuild when you can do it yourself? Probably one of the most-produced starters ever, the Delco 10MT is simple to understand, and simple to rebuild.
The cheapest (and only?) full rebuild kits I found were on eBay, so that's where I'd head if you need all the parts.

Thank you so much, I'm currently studying automotive mechanics here in my country and today I have an exam regarding this little dude. Even though I already tore down both kinds of starter motors, seeing one that was in bad shape brought back to full operation gave me quite a lot of insight. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and have a splendid day, good sir!

Thanks for sharing, good idea on saving the old drive end housing.

Thanks so much! This helped me get a new drive clutch on with the collar and everything facing the right way. Mine was all torn up, and couldn't tell how it was supposed to go.

I wish it were possible to still buy a battery charger without all the safety features on it.
I don't know if they were a franchise, like NAPA, but, I think I've seen an Auto Electric Rebuilders store in just about every city in the N.East of the United States I've ever lived in.

Yeah, that charger was something inherited from my father-in-law and better than anything I've seen for sale in decades.

It's sad that all the good stuff is only available at garage sales these days.

[@BlindBatG34]

I love buying old shop manuals because the used to cover rebuilding everything.

Hi there thank you very much for your clear explanation and one question I would like to ask you is how you can replace the winding inside the motor body.

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

They are just held in with the large screws going through the shell, so you should be able to remove those to pull out the winding

Great video, very informative. You should have more subs than that.

He has more subs than Jake, and that's all that matters.

[@damnimcooltom1]

Auto Electric? There used to be a place named that in my hometown!

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

Still is.

GOOD VIDEO, BRO

[@inthelandofmilkandhoney457]

Great Video 👍

What kind of solvent were you cleaning the housing with?

[@YoshimoshiGarage]

I just used my solvent tank. It's got a petroleum-based solvent that I bought from Tractor Supply by the 5-gallon can
