The last starter I lost.. I sheared the drive gear in half, length wise. I only had 180-deg of teeth left on it, and you can imagine how well that turned the engine over..cheap to go to a rebuilder as Allan recommends. I just lost the starter in my 73 today, when it went it went for real. Hit the key, and the ammeter needle buried to the 'D' side so far you couldn't see it, and wires started smoking.
