The starter on my model A was weak when I got it about 2 months ago and about a week ago it failed I cleaned the ground connection and the battery connection on the frame and the battery terminals and that didn't fix it so I took it apart, the field windings are not grounding to the case and the armature is good the switch is also good when I hook the starter to the battery charger I can stop the starter with my hand its like the starter has no power but it spins what could be the problem?
