One reason "starter" comes to my mind is that the band-type brush cover for the compensator motor is like what was used on older starters.

Then again, my dad had a Bolens Husky 853 tractor with a Delco-Remy generator on the Briggs-Stratton engine that did double-duty as its starter, albeit through a belt, rather than gear drive.

Whatever the case, you're right that there should be little trouble getting an auto electric shop to rebuild the T-L motor. The technology comes from a time when componnent parts were wisely and widely shared.
