mmmm,,yuk....this all comes back to lending heep out and the drowning..never again..

Glad you got it apart. Certainly savable. Those things with the heavy copper wires on them are the brushes. That is what was stuck. The lower one in the pic does not look like it is making good contact. Might need to free up the copper wire a little for it.

yep ...may sound dumb but same sort of set up for starter,,as in bushes and such...just rebuilt starter on jeep not long ago....everything still looks new in there be it a wee bit rusty...pull apart futher or 20 litres of crc,,wd40

You got it Wayne. It is a starter motor, only reversible.

[cantab27]

um scratch that last post,,we have water in there....how the hell would i clean this mess up......

[4.3LXJ]

The first thing I would try is an oil catch pan with a gallon of diesel and a parts cleaning brush

[cantab27]

Remove the lever (engage/free) on top, it has small side bolt. Then it will out itself
