Source for Autolite MZ starter parts

[atlarge54]

Not on a tractor but I believe these starters might have been used on some older tractors. Autolite MZ 4186 starter.

I have a Big Joe hydraulic lift that uses a 12v starter to run the hydraulic pump. A couple years ago I took it apart and cleaned the starter commutator and brushes knowing that they'd eventually need replacing, now that day has arrived. Brushes don't seem too difficult to locate on ebay for around $20 a set. However in my notes regarding the previous disassembly it indicates there is a phenolic washer that should be replaced. It is .650" ID, 1.25" OD and .050"+ thick.

Anyone know of a good source for these starter parts?

You might want to check McMaster Carr for the washers.

When I worked in a factory, we got parts from Motion Industries for our Big Joe lifts.
