Interior band on the starter

Postby Kirk » Sat Feb 05, 2005 7:28 pm

I just pulled the starter on my '49 to clean it up a bit and paint it. After taking the metal band off of it, I found a (what appears to be) a thin metal lining that covers the access holes in the starter.

But it's so deteriorated, I cant really tell what the material is. And after checking the parts manual, of course it does show a lining there of some sort.

So, I removed the band from my parts Cub and found the same thing in the same unrecogizable condition. :? :?

What is the material used and can you provide me with some tips on what you have replaced it with??

Mucho thx guys

PS: I leave in the morning to go to south Florida to pick up the 7 Cubs. I'm taking my wifes digital camera in hopes I can get some pics. That yellow Cub that was on ebay (sold for $3200) is still supposed to be there. I hope to get some more photo's of it and gather some history.

I just pray that the tractor trailer is there on Tuesday like we have planned. :roll: Talk to yall soon.

The lining is a paper-like insulation. Cut a new one out of paper gasket material.

When you are taking pictures of the yellow Lo-Boy, try to get some good pictures of the brake linkage. Looks like something wierd was done with the linkage.

Hope everything goes well with the hauling job.

The material is called fish paper. It is used to insulate electrical assemblies. McMaster-Carr has it on page 3354 of their on-line catalog. You can also search for fishpaper. It comes in different thicknesses and is not very expensive.

Jim & Daniel,

Fishpaper, huh? Ok, that's what I need. I sure do appreciate it.

And Jim, I will indeed try to get some shots of the brakes. I'm hoping it's still at the nursery because the guy that bought it has asked the folks there to store it for a while until he can get down there to pick it up. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Take Care
Kirk
