I recently purchased a complete drive unit (for a 420 JD Crawler, 
Delco-Remy starter, so it's probably same as yours)
EBAY $25.00+shipping. Unit was a re-manned ACE brand. working just fine.
Also running 12V to the old 6V starter motor for the last 30 years or so.
Biggest difference I know of is the *right or left* wound spring.
