That'll do it every time... At least one of the brushes wasn't even touching the commutator. It looks like a few mud wasps got pretty cozy in there.
Everything tested well and should clean up nicely. I ordered some new brushes. Bushings and bearing are good. I'll pull, degrease and relube them. A coat of paint and it'll be good to go for another 100k miles...
