Right on, there's not much that can go bad on starter other then the solenoid, brushes and the 2 bushings, all of which are easy to come by. Learned something else today: There were actually high torque starters back in the day. The way you'll find out what you have is measure the width of the brass strip that connects to the solenoid. If its 1/4" wide its a std. starter, 3/8" makes it a high torque. Not sure how high torque it was back than, -maybe 1.2kw vs. 1.5?
