It has new brushes, bearings, new solenoid, and was properly greased and looks great. We had him run it at the store to prove it was a good one, and it ran smooth and powerful. Cranks the engine over 2x as fast as the old one! (which had dead spots and you had to beat on it half the time to get it to work)
I just last month had to replace my starter and am too old to do my own
work of that type. Had my inde replace it and furnish a rebuild starter.
The cost was just over $400, but it starts now. The wagon is excellent,
but I really need to sell it.
