Next, take your brass drift and move to the nose of the starter. Drive the armature out of the starter gently. There is a good chance you can grab it at the back of the starter and pull it out. We will need to spend sometime inspecting and working this armature over, but for now we'll set it...

Two pictures looking at the brush plate and springs. There is a bushing that is in the back of the plate that the armature rides in. This is replaceable. Also, the brushes are replaceable. It is important to check the brush plate, and look it over. All the springs need to be operable and push...

Next, and I don't have a picture of it, is to remove two hex headed bolts that run the length of the starter case. These bolts hold the brush holder plate to the back of the starter. Remove the bolts. Looking within the back of the starter--two(of the 4) brushes are grounded to the brush plate...

First thing I did was remove the starter switch from the case of the starter. Then bend the tabs on the back of the starter cover. Using a brass drift gently tap around the cover to remove it from the case.

Getting my thoughts organized here, but got the starter on the M211 pulled. More pictures and procedures on tearing down to follow. This starter was more dirty than anything, yet I would sooner tear it down, clean it, and make sure it is functional, and maybe prevent failure in the future. Parts...

Just curious if the starter and generator on these were originally OD or were they painted black?

While this is an electrical thread, this video is applicable to the neat-ness of the g749. It amazes me that this truck really is water tight electrical wise! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xuHVINx6Otk that last canoe started paddling a little faster!

thats why I'm thinking it would be neat to have a parts source to service them. What did the plate run you?

I would suspect the parts to overhaul one to come in significantly less. As long as the fields and armature are okay the majority of serviceable parts shouldn't be too much. Famous last words. I'll go through the excercise of rebuilding one of each just for fun of it, then we'll know for sure...

I've got some old motor manuals that show how to go through and check the components when rebuilding a starter/generator. I can scan them as I get going on this and post them. I'm thinking some day the government rebuilds will be gone and it wouldn't hurt to have the rebuild parts/part #'s-if...

gimpyrobb-Its got the GMC 302 gas. Delco Remy starter number 1108581 according to the TM

So, after screwing around with a G749 that needs a starter this past week(WE think anyhow-Thanks to USMC), I've started to wonder how readily available parts were for the starters and generators for these old beasts. I've checked a few parts sources that wholesale electrical components of this...
