Just a guess, but 24v would seem to have less turns on the field wires and they would likely be smaller. But I don't know the difference from experience. Putting 24v into a 12v starter will (try to) turn twice as fast. That may have been the reason the bell is broken. It tried to send it...

Not necessarily. It depends how long it rubbed and the amount of damage. Take it apart and see. A rebuild shop will know what to do with the box of parts if it looks okay. Napa probably knows of a shop not too far...or can do it.

Most rebuild shops have the nose piece or can readily get it. Probably rebuild for half the new price above. I'm not convinced the armature didn't get into the field however. That's not a bad price for new...if it's really new, not just cleaned up.

Are you saying you got it to turn with the starter removed? You must have said your prayer.... because it was answered.

Not dumb at all...that's why I asked why it was not off already, of course with some humor. The armature could easily be pushed into the field coil and nothing turn.

So have you tried to turn the engine by the flex-plate gears? Why is the starter not off yet? Man it's only 10 o'clock on Saturday night--- what's wrong with your motivation?

Once you have the starter off, use a large flat screwdriver and use it to pry and see of the crank turns. Pray first.
