Manual of Repairing & Reconditioning Starter Motors and Alternators

This book could have been great instead of good if the pictures were better. Some details in the pictures are very fuzzy if you will, but overall I think one would need the information in this book especially since the knowledge available online is limited. Youtube may show you a video that you may need but may not be able to explain important details in this book the way ready copy will. So I would say get this book anyway and you will have a solid starting point to start your business or repair your own stuff and I believe for the price this book will help you piece the information along that your looking for and give you a solid starting point.

I thought this was a nice little manual well worth the read. I have a few antique tractors and other equipment plus vehicles. Many vehicle parts aren't so easy to rebuild anymore, we'll they are it just isn't the society we live in now and the basic parts you need for a rebuild are tough to find. The equipment and tractors parts on the other hand are very rebuildable so that's what I bought this for and I think with the 1 starter I've rebuilt so far it's already paid for itself.

You will find very few books on this subject. This book gives a good overview of the repair business and a step by step procedure for assembly/disassembly of alternators and starter motors. Would like to have seen more and clearer photos and diagrams. Those in the book are low quality.

Fairly good on the general basics of starters and alternators. This book was written by and Englishman, so the language and technical info is slanted somewhat toward the UK and it seemed a bit dated. If you are looking for specifics on rebuilding some specific US alternator or starter, there may be better places to find information, like dealer shop service manuals.

A good general book about rebuilding alternators and starters.

Great book on how to start a business. Workmanship was discussed in some detail. I was looking for more technical information about alternators.

The information is basic. The beginner should find this one helpful. It's a good refresher for those who need to review basic theory on starter motors and alternators.

He likes it... My father does enjoy the book worth the money.

Nicely written and will be very useful to most people, but I was looking for more technical detail than this book contained.

This had great info in it. This isn't the book to get if you're looking for a how to on exactly how to recondition rotating electrical, rather it is a general technical book mixed with a general business approach. A great book to start with. It is worth the money just for the couple of pieces of equipment he shows you how to build, and the perspective on a re-building business. Saves you a lot of time headache and money.

This is a very,very basic book. Most of it deals with systems from 50 years ago. If you are looking to rebuild newer starters and alternators this is not for you Maybe someone who has never worked on a car before. Very basic.

das buch gibt keine weitere infos. nur allgemeine information für anfänger.

No diagnosis of how to check if the alternator/starter motor needed repairing. Very poor, outdated, and from a technical stance the worst book I have read for a long time. Total waste of money. No more long distance buying of reference books for me. If I can,t touch it first I won't be buying it.
