I got there, and he let me drive his pristine Grey SDL! It was a great ride, your can really feel that extra cylinder. We had a quick drink, Bob gave me a couple of 5 gallon drums for hauling WVO, and then we had to go.

Commutator was probably in its way out in combo with some brushes needing replaced.
I like rebuilding my own starters since I have the means and the brushes cost all of next to nothing. But for the average joe, its nice to have that warrenty that comes with a reputeable rebuild shop...
