Those A starters are still around, the one in my 1949 A had bad windings so I bought a good one on eBay for $60.00 and sold my old one as a parts or fix starter on here and got $27.00 for it. If you need a good starter, try putting a wanted ad in the Classified Ads on the left, you might find one there. Good luck.

What do you mean, "took a dump". Have you done anything with it yet? I had a similar problem a while back and my "tractor family" came to the rescue. I put new brushes in it, cleaned up the commutator and *poof* good as new. I'd never done it before. Took 30 minutes and about $8.
