Common causes for this on all A-series engines:

* Slightly corroded battery leads
* Bad starter solenoid
* Ignition Switch starting to go bad

sounds like you need to remove the starter motor and check the spocket and ring gear on the flywheel. If the starter motor is running and the solenoid engaging then u have bigger problems. if the starter motor is not running then contacts and wiring is where I would start ... specifically start with trying direct power to the starter motor from the battery and then work back to the ignition.

Good job. Brushes are inexpensive so it's a good fix.
