Rebuild original, and /or buy American.

Try Flea bay, that's where I get mine. Everything comes from china now anyway, even the brand names.

Try Macs auto truck electric 440 774 2863.
But I have been hearing staggering prices on Jap electrical stuff in recent years. 800 for a complete unit does not seem out of line.

Your only other recourse is get a parts book and try to find the parts for someone to rebuild it.

DB electrical shows one for $134. I am sure it is aftermarket made in China. I have ordered 2 starters from them, so far so good.

I would suggest that Napa might be able to help, they should be able to cross it to something American made.

Forgot to add, search for Mitsubishi forklift starter.

I"ll be a monkey's uncle if any Mitsubishi tractor starters are made in the USA...

I have had excellent luck with overseas starters, especially the gear reduction starters available for older tractors.

$2,680 for a starter is insane.

DB electrical's return policy regarding small engine ignition modules: they don't even want the old ones back until the third one ordered is defective.

I had ordered 3 for a Kohler twin and none of them worked. They were $28. Next step up was $144 from a mower shop, which worked. It actually said Kohler on it so I knew the odds were improving. Some guys had them for over $400.

Locate a nearby starter/generator repair shop, even electric motor repair shop. They can rebuild your old one.

The local shop in my area didn't want anything to do with repairing my starters, 1 for my C70 GMC and one for my Skidoo. Said it wasn't worth doing for the price of a new one from offshore.

There's your solution then. I'd have told the shop I wanted American quality and reliability not the lowest price.
