61polara Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've pulled the starter on my 1921 Maxwell while trying to free the stuck engine. I found that the teeth are badly damaged from the starter, but the starter drive appears in good shape. Very strange unless the starter drive was replaced. Anyone have a flywheel for sale?

Guest 25 chry Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If 1926 Chrysler model 58 are the same I have got at least 1 .I have also got also a spare ring gear .the only problem I am from Australia and freight could be a bit pricey .The ring gear will always where out first because the starter drive is made of a harder material plus also if it is the same as the 1926 Chrysler model 58 the starter spins before it engages in the ring gear.I have already had to replace one on my 1926 Chrysler 58 . IT only lasted 33000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61polara Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 25 chry,The Maxwell has a cone clutch which runs in an oil bath. I think the model 58 used a dry plate clutch, which would not work. What type of clutch do you have?ThanksDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycars Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I had my machine shop reverse the ring gear and press it back on the flywheel. Works perfectly now.
