My M151 did this too a few years ago.
One day after I went to town I got out to go into a store.
I heard a buzzing noise coming from the Jeep and assumed
it was the fan. I opened the hood and traced the noise down
to the starter which was turning at about 1/3 speed. A good
crack to the starter switch stopped it. Was it a partially stuck
switch or a build up of particles in the switch. Don't know
Mine now has a disconnect switch mounted into the batter cover
under the pass seat.... It is also better because all alternators take
a littl power all the time. After a month or so you may not be able to
start...
