Starting motor housing
(10) Pole shoes
(11) Field winding assembly
(13) Starting motor housing The starter motor housing (13) supports the following items: field winding assembly (11), pole shoes (10), brush plate assembly (9) and brushes (8).The field winding (11) and the pole shoes (10) provides the magnetic field for the armature assembly (12).

Armature assembly
(12) Armature assembly The armature assembly (12) consists of a laminated iron core which is assembled on the armature shaft. The commutator is at one end of the armature. The commutator is constructed of copper bars. The bars are insulated from each other and the armature shaft. The armature windings are wound in the slots of the core. The windings are then connected to the commutator segments. The armature assembly (12) is positioned in the field winding assembly (11) and the pole shoes (10). The armature assembly is supported by bearings which are located in the following components: pinion drive housing, shift lever housing and rear frame assembly. The armature assembly and the field winding are connected in series. The current flow generates high torque especially when the motor is first started.

Brush holder assembly
(9) Brush plate assembly
(14) Brush springs The brush holder assembly (9) is mounted over the commutator to the case of the starting motor housing. Six brushes are held against the commutator. Brush springs (14) keep pressure on the brushes so the brushes stay in contact with the commutator. The brushes transmit current from the field winding to the commutator. Three of the brushes are positive polarity and these brushes are connected to the field winding. The other three brushes are negative polarity and these brushes are connected to the negative terminal of the starting motor.

Brushes
(8) Brush Brushes (8) are constructed of carbon. The carbon is used to conduct electricity. The brushes transmit current from the field winding to the commutator. There are six brushes. Three of the brushes are positive and three of the brushes are negative.

Pinion drive assembly
(7) Pinion drive assembly
(15) Pinion gear The pinion drive assembly (7) has a pinion gear (15) that will engage onto the flywheel ring gear of the engine. In a case of a butt engagement, the pinion gear will stop but the clutch assembly will continue to rotate. This rotation will allow the pinion gear to rotate and the pinion gear will engage onto the flywheel ring gear.As the engine starts to run, the engine speed will eventually exceed the starting motor speed. The overrunning clutch portion of the pinion drive assembly (7) protects the
