My next project is the 318 and the starter (brand new) is kicking out, but it just hits the flywheel. Unless the teeth happen to line up, then it kicks out and fires right up. I feel like the Bendix should be kicking out and spinning just enough to catch the ring gear. All the teeth look fine, voltages are all good, same model starter that came off. I have seen people suggest shimming it, but the way it is installed, shimming it would move the starter closer to the flywheel and I don't think that would make it any better. Serial of the tractor is 486XXX, so I think that is within the break that uses the starter with the piggybacked solenoid.
