And as far as a reason for the broken nose, we have seen several other starters with similar damage lately and I believe almost all had been a 6v starter working on 12v. The increased voltage puts out a tremendous amount of torque and slams the drive gear into the housing end with a lot of force. If yours is still 6v, it is less certain but another reason has been thought to be loose mounting bolts or something in the mounting hole preventing the starter from sitting square..

If you are running 12v, when you get a new starter it might be a good idea to have new 12v field coils installed so it can better handle the higher voltage.
