Discussion about the Lockridge Device

[citfta]

I did some research online and it appears the newer starter/ generators do NOT have the larger wire on every other segment like the one in the video.  I may have an older one from the old Kohler engines but I will have to do some looking for it.  I'll let you know what I find.

Hello Citfta,

Ok, so this is what the Armature looks like...

It is "sealed"...resin epoxied...

But notice it does not have "grooves"...so, it should work, according to our friend...LOL

Take care

I did a search on eBay for starter generator armature and look what I found.

Look  carefully at the commutator.

Hello Citfta,

Yes, that's for a Kohler Starter Generator, remanufactured...it does have the alternated windings on Commutator, but I do not see any fine wire though...
And there is another back view.

What I really can not understand is...What is the point of leaving one comm bar off?

Because IF bars would be jumped, that's understood...but leaving it "blank"?

Unless Brushes cover 2 or more comm bars...

Btw, I already made up my mind on which Dynamo to get...

I will post it next...

Hello All,

I purchased Two of these FORD's Dynamos...from 1949 to 1950's...They have only Two Fields and Two Brushes...so, we need two, and getting one for "parts".

They were purchased from different owners...and shipment by Ground...so, maybe by end of Nov. or mid of December.

However, they are 7V and 35 Amps...not 12V...But, remember the Original German Device that were taken from Germany was made from a VW BOSCH, 6V...

I love its frame, it has already the four adjusting slots made for brushes...completely closed.

Plus, both are spinning freely, no heavy rust...and Field Bolts are not stripped...FORD uses a "square" key to remove them.

All the GM Delco-Remy I saw...are mostly open casing, big openings...and in bad rusted shape, I mean for a "reasonable" price...not paying $400.00 for a reman one...

Regards
