My TE20 ate its starter

Was turning over yesterday morning and after a couple rotations it make a loud clunk and everything locked up. Pulled the Lucas 6V starter and the gear is shattered. I looked up a new starter and got sticker shock! Is it possible for an electric motor shop to replace the gear?

Thanks

I have never asked our local electrical shop if they can do that but I would certainly ask. A phone call is fairly inexpensive.

Well worth pursuing the repair , Lucas 6 volt starters are very expensive as you've found out but replacements aren't anywhere as good as the old ones .
The gear probably split through wear but it might be worth having the whole thing looked at .
Check the back of the ring gear for wear and missing chunks , a six volt starter pulls up against the gear from the rear rather than pushes from the front like twelve volt ones .
 

I took the starter to a local shop I know well. Had it fixed up in a day. He also converted it to 12 volt as he said that they have repaired many unconverted starters that have detonated from spinning double the speed when impacting the ring gear.
