Shaun,
I had the exact same problem with my Jeep - it has the same
push-rod-through-the-floorboard type setup that the M43 has. I thought it
was either the starter drive gear or the ring gear on the flywheel but when
the bell housing was opened up all teeth were fine! Problem turned out to be
the starter drive itself! This is the part that is inside the starter
housing between the motor windings and the drive gear and that the yoke
slides back and forth. Take your starter to a shop that knows about this
type of starter (some don't!) and have them check it out. If that is your
problem the part isn't too expensive.
