Replacing starter. The original is a prestolite with the solenoid inside the nose cone. Parts are no longer available from my rebuilder. I got a delco direct replacement. Problem is that the ringgear rides all the way down in the V on the drive causing the starter to bind. There is no way to shim it out. I compared it to one from john deere but couldnt see any difference. My deere dealer and rebuilder only show one starter for a 2010 diesel. My ser is 64444. Tbe data plate says 2010 R.
