Am I correct? If so, what type of lube to use? Posted on: 2017/10/27 19:09

OR, at least modern replacement bushings that are Oilite??? Still put some lubriplate on them anyway as Owen suggests. Posted on: 2017/10/27 19:45

Starters and generators before 1930 did not have Oilite when made but if they've had a comprehensive rebuild since almost certainly do now, or something comparable to Oilite.

Delco and Autolite want a very light coat of oil on the shaft under the Bendix. Was that the same on the older O_D starters? Posted on: 2017/10/27 20:18

Not O'Reilly, not Autozone, not NAPA, not Carquest. Only Lubriplate they stock is the Motor Assembly Grease. Is there a good substitute for White? Posted on: 2017/10/27 21:00

Permatex makes one as do others. Posted on: 2017/10/27 21:35
