Since there has not been much G749 action on the site I decided to post pictures of the starter I redid over the last 3 weeks in the shop.
The starter that came on the M211 would only smoke when I tried it. I figured it was history since the metal cover was missing on the back of the starter.
I found a guy selling on online and bought that one. It looked old and tired but I put it on and got the engine started using that one.
I decided to take it off and clean it up. When I took the metal cover off the back it had worn out brushes and some corrosion.
So I took the original one apart and it was dirty but nicer inside and had like new brushes. It had a broken brush wire so I took that wire off of the old starter. Then I found the bendex would not turn, so I took the working bendex off of the old starter. After that the original one worked!
So it took two starters to get a nice repaired one. I cleaned it and kept the original paint scheme. Here is the result:
