Hi All

Can anyone tell me where to purchase a starter repair kit for a 235 starter? Im in need of the little retainer clip and thick spacer washer at the end of the shaft. Can these be re-used?Thank you.

I bought a repair kit from LMC Truck - most things as well as the brushes , bearings fibre washer and clip was in the package. The starter drive was also in the package but did not fit. Check their catalogue on page 87. www.lmctruck.com

Most of the parts are available at the local parts store. The retainers can be reused, In fact I try to reuse them because they are better quality then replacements. There should be 3 pieces there. I,m glad to see people doing their own starters. It is easy & rewarding.

Thank you,

I will look into all recommendations.

HELLO AGAIN,

The starter I am rebuilding is 12v with foot start. Im a bit perplexed and cannot locate a diagram as to proper assy. of 3 small end pieces.
There is a thin washer that mates to the end of the inside nose cone, then a ring clip, then a thick spacer washer. Is this the proper sequence of assy? In operation the drive assy is forced against thick washer which is forced against the ring clip which stops the drive assy from hitting the nose cone. Can someone tell me if this is correct? Thank you.

Sounds right. The thick washer goes on first next to the gear. Then you put the snap ring on in the groove. The thick washer snaps over the snap ring & the thin thrust washer goes on with the extended part towards the snap ring.
