Manufacturing

1. Frame and field assembly. Cleaned, inspected and coils replaced or reconditioned. Frame liners replaced. Field leads and frame liner insulation positioned properly. Pole shoes machine tightened. Points replaced on all Ford starters. All units tested for grounds and opens.
   
   
2. Armature. Refinished to like new condition. Commutator turned and windings reimpregnated with epoxy like varnish. Spline, shaft straightness and bearing diameters checked. Complete unit electrically tested.
   
   
3. Brush Assembly. New long-life brushes. New springs and holders, if needed. New bearings. Terminal insulation and seal.
   
   
4. Solenoid. New and remanufactured to O.E.M. specs.
   
   
5. Drive Housing. Cleaned and inspected for tolerance. New bearing added with new oil wicks.
   
   
6. Drive Assembly. New and remanufactured to O.E.M. specs.
   
   

Every starter we remanufacture is 100% tested on our state of the art computarized tester that includes a 16 point inspection across the entire RPM specification range. Current, speed, close test hold current open test, pull current, voltage drop, maximum current, maximum power, ripple current, maximum torque, and a series of torque constants are all part of our starter functional test.

Each unit includes a printed document with the date and serialized test report.

1. Stator. Cleaned, recoated and leads replaced if needed. Unit electrically tested for circuit continuity, phase to phase balance, opens and grounds.
   
   
2. Rotor. Slip ring refinished and windings recoated. Unit tested for shorts, opens and grounds.
   
   
3. Regulator. Inspected and voltage limit checked under simulated road load conditions to meet O.E.M. design specifications. If regulator tests to be no good then it is replaced with New Updated Versions.
   
   
4. Bearings. New slip-ring end roller bearings. New drive-end ball bearings.
   
   
5. Trio Diodes. All are replaced with a new Heavy Duty 3 Amp Trio Diode.
   
   
6. Rectifier Bridge. Special test equipment checks each diode circuit individually for shorts or opens. Any units with a history of diode problems are replaced with Larger Capacity Diodes.
   
   
7. Electrical Connections, Terminals and Hardware. Inspected and replaced if corroded.
   
   
8. End Frames. Cleaned, bearing bore diameters checked.
   
   
9. Brush Assembly. New long life brushes, new springs and holder.
   
   

Every alternator we remanufacture is 100% tested on our state of the art computarized tester that includes a 10 point inspection at 5 different RPM's. Maximum output power with and without full load, voltage regulator set points turn on speed, voltage regulator load response control, leakage and a variety of regulator functions.

Each unit includes a printed document with the date and serialized test report.
