it broke near the lever pin for the solinoid to the bendix so it looks like cheap cast with a flaw in it.

If your teeth are jumping the sudden catch can put enough force to crack the starter housing.
Can you hear it jumping?
There are 3 contact points for securing the starter.Two at the head and one on the other end.
If these aren't tight it can flex and crack.

I couldn't hear the teeth jumping but there was only 2 bult out of 3. the noise it made when I try turning the key it was like turning the key on a car and not letting go of the key after the car started.
