Was the repair shop you took the starter to unable to fix it?
No.. just got word back.. he took it apart 5 times and got it running for a minute once. Put it on a machine..."Growler?"believes it is shorted in the windings. $50 just to tell me it is dead and of course they could rewind it for $450!...

I am looking into a identical motor like that except for the mounting bracket... and pulley. I would think they might be very much the same inside
Starter motors haven’t really changed much since 2008. Yeah I’d just find something very similar maybe try a few. Probably cost less than $50 to try more than one.

Give us some info, pictures, dimensions and shaft size if you have a way to measure, etc. And any markings?
