[SEL] Allis Chalmers Starter

By all means check for straightness, but I bet there's just one too many
spacer washers stuck on one end or the other when the starter was last
assembled.  Pull one off and see if this helps.

Hi Guys
We have decided to resurrect the Allis Chalmers 6 volt starting system
(Damaged at some earlier stage by someone applying 12 volts to system) and
have acquired a new 6V battery. The starter was supposedly overhauled by
someone, but appears to have a bent shaft as it will only rotate slowly (off
the tractor, on the bench). If I slacken the 2 through bolts until only just
snug, motor frees up and rotates fast.I have checked end float..all ok. I
have linished the 2 shaft bearing surfaces..plenty of clearance.
Has anyone had any success straightening bent starter shafts?
