I have an old starter for my Farmall A that will not crank the motor. It seems to spin fine when not under load but will not crank the engine, even with the spark plugs out. It also seems to draw a lot of current as the wires got hot. I am using a 12 volt battery, that is nearly new and charged, until I get a 6 volt. I had it connected with positive ground.

I opened up the starter and the brushes and commutator surface were dirty and pitted. I cleaned them up with sand paper wrapped around the commutator and this helped a bit, but still low torque.

How do I check for internal shorts/problems?

Thanks, Tim

Are your battery cables and battery good ? If not then the starter will not perform properly.
