Over this summer our fleet was eating up the old style MHB hartzell starters.
Some were lasting 60 hours or less......
We finally switched to a sky-tech style and they have been bulletproof for over 6 months of heavy flying from summer weather all the way to the -40s.
When switching you also gain like 8lbs a side since they are smaller. They turn a heck of a lot quicker also so the pilots aren't cranking forever to start an engine.
If you are having MHB problems like we were these may be worth a look.
(The right side does require a bushing to install and a few planes we had to lengthen the starter wires but not too big a deal at all to get them in)
Highly recommended!
