Default 800 small starter

Hello to all, new member here. I've been browsing around for a few days now and this is one heck of a great site! I have an 800 that a friend gave me a few years ago and recently decided to get her going as my wife and I just bought our first house and I don't wont give $2000 for a new throw away mower (as I call em). My 800 is a little rough but still a solid machine for the most part. I need some advice on the "small" starter, my armature windings are bad and from what ive gathered they are hard to come by. What are your thoughts on having it rewound vs the bigger starter and does anyone have an idea of what a rewind might cost? I really don't want to cut the frame and go to the bigger starter but if I do go that route does anyone have info or pics on the correct way to cut it or should I just keep wrapping a rope around the clutch assembly and pull starting it?
