1) Generator output +ve which connects to the +ve terminal on the ammeter. 2) Shunt (run winding) field coil +ve which connects to the rheostat end point. 3) Series (starter winding) field coil which connects to the Start button. The wiper (moving contact) on the rheostat is connected to earth. The Generator Output winding is a thick wire that connects to the +ve brushes. The Series field winding is also a thick wire but does not go to the brushes. Best regards, Chris. |

Thanks Chris, the wire from the starter winding that connects to the Start button was one of the wires dissed off when I got the chore horse.
I take it that the rheostat connects to earth through its body too the casing? Cheers Stephen |

The start button connects a series field winding between the positive battery terminal and the positive brushes on the armature. That turns the generator into an electric motor to crank the engine when the button is pressed. (If the battery can't supply enough current to turn the engine over you have to resort to the cord and pulley method.) ![]() Best regards, Chris. |

Thanks Chris, I take it that the Amp meter should be 30A each way on the chore horse, that's all I can see in every picture I can find.
Cheers Stephen, |

Doc 299 in the 19 set group archive is a post-WW2 chore horse manual from "Threestokes" (Stokes, Stokes & Stokes Ltd.) which goes into a fair amount of detail on dismantling and reassembly of the unit, plus operation, parts lists, etc. Best, Chris. |
