    Ede,
    Not sure if it matters, but I’ve seen some p/n 277487 brush sets
    with the single wire, instead of the double braided wire brushes
    like mine. Also confusing, is that some are showing a set as "two" brushes,
    and mine takes four total.
    My brushes are 5/8" wide and 1/4" thick.

    I turned the armature, cleaned everything up, and it spins
    great now, although I had it hooked up to 12 volts, so it should have!
    The commutator was wore down, out of round, and dirty!
    Not sure if the motor is a "keeper" yet, but now at least I have the
    starter fixed so I can test compression, etc., easier.
    By the looks of all the hammer marks on the starter,
    someone should have done some maintenance on it
    30 years ago!

    I have a 1957 "Big Twin" 35 hp, 25930 model, with a starter.
    I can’t get at it right now to read the starter number.
    Any idea if it takes the same brushes?
    Thanks.
