Here is the answer With out the parts in my hand, and the tractor in the sun next to me. with the starter off of the tractor, look in the hole at the ring gear. use a magnifying glass and good light. The worn ring gear teeth should be at least three quarters of the full width of the gear body. Put the tractor in fifth gear (ign. off) and push of the top of the rear wheel till it mooves the engine some. This will be a spot on the ring gear that is not worn from starting. Look at it and do a mental comparison. This spot should be full width.
If the teeth are 3/4 or more of the width, I think they are good.
Replace the pinion on the starter and see what happens.
You could also measure the depth of the ring gear teeth from the starter drive mount surface on the housing, then measure the depth of the pinion (when out) from the starter flange. if these overlap correctly so the teeth mesh fully, I'd bet on the pinion, or a slow starter. If they don't, it might be the wrong starter!!!
Good Luck,
Jim Nicholson
