I agree that good condition cables will have a big part in the starter operation.

Yes, I would compare my new found cranking speed to be equal to the starter in this video. I'm sure my cables were probably the biggest problem. But I my first lifetime starter didn't make it 4 months before it was dragging which is why I went ahead and replaced this one, which is my second starter. I'm ashamed of how bad my cables were but I may post some pics anyway.

It happens, post the pictures. That way we can have a before and after view.
Things get neglected in life because we simply do not have the time and/or energy to take care of everything around us. We get to the non-important things when we get to them, that is how it is.

Yeah looking back I think the cables took out the first starter.

The 20-year-old cables were half my problem, and the 20-year-old starter was the other half.

It cold started with my remote start this morning. It was a little below 30, it hasn't started by remote in a long time even in warmer temps.

As for the video, the best way is to upload it to YouTube and then link it here.
The old cables, well they had seen better days. They were pretty bad, but I have seen worse that is for sure. Good on you for getting them fixed and back up to shape though.
