hwellens Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Looks like that type was used on a lot of cars. See first column. Edited June 14, 2019 by hwellens add data (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learned how to use the crank very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryBudd Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 Unfortunately I'm not young and have tried cranking and I just can't do it.Does anyone know where I could find the part needed or another starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 My information shows the early 1929 De Soto K fitted with a Delco Remy 714-J starter motor. The late 1929 K had the NE starter motor. The 1930 six and the 1930-31 CF eight had a 714-Q cranking motor. A 714-L was fitted to Chev 1929-33, maybe more years. Other makes too. I don't know the differences between the 714- models, but it might be worth looking for one of them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be worth a try to take it to the local tractor dealer. They may be able to match it up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having no luck finding the clutch for NE starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The 1929 Plymouth 55 also had the 714-J cranking motor. Here is the electrical comparison between the DR and NE motors. DR: NE: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it maybe the nose cone (drive pinion/bendix cover) variations for different engines. My '28 Chrysler also uses a 714 (D). It maybe possible to just interchange the nose cone from another 714* starter with other models. I have NOT had two different models to compare to be confident of my above comments though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryBudd Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 OK,really appreciate the info. Can anyone direct me to where I might find one of these starters? I've looked in the usual places but nothing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Harmatuk Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 For what its worth. My 30 Chrysler CJ 6 has a Delco Remy 714 Q starter. Bill H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmhurst_motor Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hello Have you disaasembled the part? Mine was all gummed up and couldnt freely move. It can feel like one part this way. The forward motion of the gear on the spline occurs due to the rotation of the motor, these need to be able to move freely, Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryBudd Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Fortunately I was able to find the part from a company in Chicago. Certified Auto Electric Inc,they are very friendly and willing to help.I'm back on the road again and loving it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
