Re: I need advice on a potential starter motor problem 240-260 84

Maybe you can get by with just replacing the brushes and cleaning-up the commutator on the existing starter. You can try this at a fraction of the cost of a new (or rebuilt) starter. If the brushes have worn enough that the retaining springs have "bottomed-out" against their stops, then replace them. They're cheap! Some fine emery cloth and an old tooth brush should clean-up the commutator good enough. Of course then you're not supporting the people that do this (along with a new bearing or two) and sell it to you as a rebuilt unit.
