What is this collar for?
I can't figure out what the purpose of this collar on the starter rod is? Is it some sort of stop? Has a allen head set screw. Haven't seen it on other cars.
Thanks... And Merry Christmas to All... |

It looks like the h2o pump collar? Ditch it.

Re: What is this collar for?
Is there a hole drilled to accommodate the set screw through to the starter rod shaft? If so perhaps the shaft is not threaded, and it was a farmers fix to retain the starter rod.
Or "to facilitate the next garage fire" |

It looks smaller than a water pump shaft collar. Maybe they jist thought it looked purty .

Re: What is this collar for?
That is a very rare accessory item for model A's.
It is a cardinal grammeter and it is used to bleed off the excess inverse reactive current from the starter. |

Maybe it adds weight to the starter rod so his wife did not have to push so hard to get it started.

Re: What is this collar for?
How about maybe the rod would unscrew so the person put that on to keep it from unscrewing.

Re: What is this collar for?
Looks like this guy has lots ideas. Look at the double nuts on the starter cable. When things get just right, I think it could make a nice fire when that collar hits that big nut.
I bet the rest of the cars has some nice improvements also. |

Re: What is this collar for?
I wonder if the collar was put there to make it easier starting/turn-over the motor from inside the engine compartment. You could wrap your fingers around the collar a lot easier than just the rod itself.
Just thinking! (Which sometimes can be dangerous.)

Re: What is this collar for?
Now, that's the only one that makes sense, and I'll bet you are right.
