> Cecil, could you post pics of the brush holder arrangement.  I have cores from that vintage and if it's like the automotive/industrial starters I'll probably have a brush holder for you.  And I'm set up to expedite ship.  Yeah, most of the units I've seen like you describe are Ford as they had the shaft sticking out the end of the starter, thus easy to modify to drive something.  Often a winch on the front of someone's Jeep.  And if it's Ford and the insulation is shot on the holder, common failure, you have room to work to reinsulate it and use a small bolt if you don't have rivets handy.

Sometimes you can simply dry out the unit by separating it into its two main parts and baking them in an oven for a short while at a low temperature to remove any moisture. Then put it back together and test it on a bench. Don’t let the parts get too hot or you may damage the insulation on the wire and there’s no coming back from that. All you really want to do is try to remove any moisture.
