Several points to make: The big coiled flat wound spring should be the return spring for the drive. This spring is pretty heavy, and connected with two bolts into the drive collars. The little spring is not a return spring. No driving force is put through the spring, the drive force is only in the spiral grooves. The little spring is a noise reducer, keeping a little tension on the pinion gear when retracted.
Farmalls in the Letter series, and X00- X50 number series. never used a starter with a solenoid engagement. The X00-X50 series used a starter relay, but it did not pull or push linkage to make the drive move on its shaft.

It operates similar to the type 1, but the internal one way clutch allows the tractor to overrun the drive.
