John Deere D120 21hp Briggs OHV very hard cranking, breaking metal pinion starter gears.

That Briggs manual says turn crank CCW. Is that correct? Thought it was CW looking down at the flywheel? Typo?

Not if you are turning from the PTO which is lot easier when the shroud is in place. They assuming that the shroud is in place and you are using a wrench or pull bar to turn the engine via the PTO end.
