A Deere starting engine can be rebuilt with off the shelf parts of components easily made in a lathe.
As for cranking power? A Starting engine will pre-heat, then crank a diesel at rpms an electric starter could never hope to.
As for cost? Compare the ENTIRE cost of the conversion plus replacing a pair of 1000CCA batteries every 2-4 years.
Plus count up the number of inquiries on this site of tinkerers trying to re-wire the electrical system. Most of these conversions end up either pull started or have the batteries charged with a 120V Walmart special charger. A few fires and melted wiring harnesses too.
Most starting engines only require a water pump seal, new coils because some dip left the ignition switched on. And clean plus rebuild the fuel system from tank to carb of 46 plus years of gum/varnish/dirt.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
