Hi crew:

One thing led to another and here I am stripping my 75 to send the frame to powdercoat.

Everything has been going great until I got the primary case off and tried to remove the alternator rotor nut...when I actually READ the shop manual it says to lock the back wheel to prevent slipping

My back wheel is off and away!

Any other way to remove the alternator rotor nut? Safe way to hold the clutch basket still?

Thank you all in advance for your help

try an air or electric impact gun. There is a clutch locking tool for a commando 061015. But it would probably be faster to put the wheel and rear brake back on.
Best of luck.

Jam a small block of wood between the triplex chain and the clutch basket. Give the nut a shock.

Hey, that don't look like the inside of my 71. What's with the gear sitting between the clutch basket and stator. Shifting thing-a- ma -gig?
 
Well you see the 75's came with a new fangled device that after pushing a button sends a shock to the mouse living on a running wheel in there. That moves the gear and the gear moves the primary chain & strats the bike & away you go!!
 
I think the starter cable is visible in the top of the snap.
There are some gears obviously missing behind the chain and below the starter.
One could guess the sprag is missing also.
The starter may just be in place to plug the mounting hole and for show only.
Every time I look at the inside of the ES primary I realize how fond I am of awkwardly complex gear trains. They do make me smile.
All the best.

Thanks L.A.B..
I am actually a bit embarrassed that after all the hours I have spent on this forum I don't know anything about the starters.
Sorry, I was just lazy and figured I ask rather than look it up.

Besides, I wouldn't get abused if I just looked it up.
Hey gtsum, what do you feed those little guys?

I too am a fan of gear trains! Oh, and the mice that move them.

Thanks for the lesson Boys!

I've never figured out how folks get their foot up to press the electric leg button on these models.
 
Starter "Assist" on a good day they worked!!! Unless you forgot to feed the mouse. A few up grades and they always start!!
 
Powder coat changes the look. A lot. Blurs the sharp lines. Very hard to go back to paint.

Powder coat is thicker, it covers welds, it subtly changes the look of all the edges, radii.
It probably bugs nobody but a metal fabricator like me. But, at 50', it starts speaking to.. "plastic pig" or "paint". As we get to 5'... than I decide if original, or redone paint.
Again, involuntary industrial reaction. I'm no show judge. It JUMPS OUT at me.
I'll shut up now.

I never liked the powder coating on my '73 750. There are too many places that need masked because the coating is so much thicker than paint. Clean up was a nightmare. (removing all the masking.) And there were places that needed touched up with paint anyway. It just bugged the hell out of me and I worked for the powder coating shop! Just my 2 cents.
