Just an FYI. Those "replacement" drives are actually trying to solve the torque spring problem. The Bendix drive has that hefty flat wire coil spring that connects the motor to the drive pinion, and it tends to break. All the gas over diesels guys can tell you about it in detail. Leave it in diesel and try to crank it and it may be your last attempt at tractor driving for the day. Nothing a $100 and a couple of hours can't fix, if you can get the replacement spring. The heavy engagement of a 12V on a gasser may do the same thing over time. The spring takes a beating and eventually cracks.
PS: The later Bendix style drives got rid of the coupling spring.
