John, I really don't care what others think. I published what has happened, how I fixed it. Others can do what they want. I'm not imposing my opinions on others. I think it bad advice not telling people what can happen to teeth on flywheel when using a 6v starter on 12v. BTW, this is the second starter drive in 5 years. Last drive I got from here, YT.
I've found others on different sites on internet who have experienced the same problem with chipped teeth. So I think the problem is real.
I say a little prayer now when I hit the starter that the teeth next to the bad one can carry the load or I'll be splitting the tractor. Been there before. Last tractor took me 4 hours start to finish to split and get it back together.
This will take longer because I'll have to remove flywheel, take it to town have a new ring installed, then have the flywheel ground.
I'm happy with how the new starter works, sounds and doesn't slam the starter ring.
You may want to read my last post. I couldn't get a 12v starter for my Farmall C, so I used a mower battery..
Now what am I going to do? 2 problems solved and nothing to look forward to fixing. George

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
