28 DODGE STARTER INFO NEEDED

[Charlie F.]

I have a starter on a home made tractor with a Dodge fast 4 motor and tranny  .

 My question at this point is my starter is a 6304  and  I seen another at  6400 then one with 6404 what do these numbers refer to?

My starter the two plates are broken  so i need some help?

Is there another starter motor that I can adapt to this engine ?

I have  a Dodge doodle bug with a 4 in it and a buzz rig with one to but both are older and take the Starter /generator .

Is there a way to date these engines?

These starters used the same armature:

D o d g e Bros., 4, 124 1927
Dodge Bros., 4, 128 1928
D o d g e Bros., V i c t o r y 6 1928
D o d g e Bros., 6, DA 1929
Dodge, S t a n d a r d 6 1928
G r a h a m - P a i g e , 614 1928
Reo W o l v e r i n e , 6 1928
 

I think those numbers you quote might be the starter model numbers. North East starter SBH-6400 was used in the Dodge Brothers Senior 6 1929-30. The armature in that starter interchanges with the following:

D o d g e Bros., Senior 6 1928
D o d g e Bros., Senior 6 1929
D o d g e Bros., Senior 6 1930
G r a h a m - P a i g e , 619 1928
G r a h a m - P a i g e , 629 1928
G r a h a m - P a i g e , 835 1928
W i l l y s - K n i g h t , 66B 1930
 

I don't have any interchange data for 1928 (or haven't found it yet).

 

If you can find the engine numbers stamped into the block, they can be dated. People here will help.

 My starter is a North East 6304 and is on the 4 cylinder engine .

I seen another starter in  a market but the number was 6400 and would like to know if they would interchange?

Would I be better off  putting the  reproduction plates in my starter?

 

I’m not just sure what yr the engine is .

Where are the numbers stamped ?

Thank You for the reply

A couple days   will be fine Im not in a rush .  and I have email alert so  when you post ill get it.

 This is some think I had stored and had to move it for another project so Im thinking its timer to do something with it.

I may try to get a picture or two of it.

I also have a 1930 Chrysler 6 that was made into a truck in the great depression and my 1939 Chevy pick up.

The Home made tractor motor number is B 683-050

 The Buzz saw motor is A278-409 with a Y15 stamped below the other numbers.

The Doodle bug  is A 320 - 174 .

 I think the buzz saw is the oldest.

 Any help will be appreciated.
