Anyone know if these starters are the same as the Model A starters? I'm thinking to either get it rebuilt and rewired for 12v, or to buy one already done.

Thanks for your help.
Definitely not the same as a Model A although some of the parts may interchange. Yours has a post on the bottom and the Model A was designed to use a switch. I would suggest having yours rebuilt. I have never heard of a starter shaft breaking, it is usually the bendix that fails.
