It's a bendix issue indeed.
You might get lucky and find the pinion's simply jammed into the "home" position on the starter. Suggest removing the starter and see if the pinion is stuck. If it is work it loose on the bendix spiral. Then clean it and give the spiral a thin coat of light oil (hydraulic or tranny fluid works well).
Or you may also find the drive has broken (they do sometimes...) Any good starter shop can replace it for $50 or so. Just make sure it's for a Farmall H or M (these turn backward relative to most other bendix drive starters)
It's very unlikely the ring gear has broken. Ring gears usually fail slowly over several years - not all at once. You'll get random and intermittant grinding, starter non-engagement or jamming etc. These gradually increase in frequency until one day the starter simply won't drive the ring gear anymore.
