Hi Dave,
If you feel like swapping some more, compare the pinions on the two
starters (TR3B vs TR4). I had an '85 Bronco II with an engine of
mysterious origin. The starter went, so I replaced it with one appropriate
for the original engine. It was not. After grinding my way through four
starters (thanks, Canadian Tire warranty!) and trying all manner of
band-aid solutions, I finally swapped out the starter pinion for one with
more teeth. After that, the starter never missed a beat, or a tooth.
Regards,
-Malcolm
