I've been involved with home garage projects for many a year. The starter gave up on the 1 ton. Years back ( about 10 years ) I rebuilt the starter from parts from another starter and yesterday all it would do is click, like a starter relay. Sure wasnt that. Pulled it apart and son spotted the problem right away. It was the brass sleeve underneath the top cover that the Bendix plunger drops down and energizes the starter to engage the Bendix.Now a new starter installed (limited lifetime) so keeping the old one for spare parts so if the plow truck starter gives out were good to go,if it doesn't have the same problem. Has any one ever found the same problem and been able to make repairs? Regards LOU/
 
Yup, had a chyrsler with the starter solenoid seperate from the starter, up in the inner fender. That was always the problem. The brass/copper contact surface would get corroded and after turnng the key multiple times (banging on the surface) it would make contact and start. Solenoids were realitivly inexpensive so it wasn"t worth trying to repair, different when it"s built into the starter.
 

1955 Buick had that problem. It had copper disc in it that had become corroded. I turned the disc over for a fresh surface and it worked fine until I sold the car.
