Most of the starters advertised on ebay (and a few other sites) are the wrong starters. The application listings don't make sense. They occasionally list Farmall M's, W-6's, W-4's, and W-9's as using the same starter--this is completely wrong. A--they don't fit. B--the W-9 starter rotation is opposite to the Farmall M's, W-6's, & W-4's because the W-9 starter installs from the engine side of the flywheel and the others install from the clutch side.
Here are the correct part numbers for a W-9 starter. The only way I will ever buy a starter for old IH machinery (especially a W-9) is by using the part numbers. If it doesn't have one of these part numbers or cross reference over to a supplier's part number then it is the wrong starter. Period. You can hope for one that "might fit" but that doesn't usually work out very well.

Delco-Remy model number 1108943 (likely this one was more common).
A friend of mine recently thought he found a good deal on ebay for a W-9 starter so he bought it......guess what? It didn't fit at all, completely the wrong starter.
The best option is to have the original starter rebuilt then you know it will fit and work correctly.
Here's a link to a supplier that appears to list the correct starter:

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
