John Gelfer Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I have a Delco starter on the '28 Gardner. There is an oil cup on the front end, and a plug on the rear. Does regular chassis lube need to go in the Bendix end of the starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gelfer Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Looks like I figured this one out. After taking out the plug, I figured out it was the same size as a 1/8" NPT grease fitting, so I screwed one in and gave it a few pumps of grease. I figure this is for the Bendix to slide and engage the pinion gear with the flywheel. I hope this was the right thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
