I'm sorry I lead you astray. I guess Mahindra changed the casting, I saw the gear reduction starter, but it has been years since I saw a lenar and I didn't notice the difference, the new starter is much smaller than the original lenar starter (I'm assuming you got the one for the new Chinese 2525 and not teh old series 25). It it had worked it would have been an excellent solution.
You could call these guys:Tractor Parts-Backhoes Parts-Baler Parts-Parts Catalogs-Keats Equipment-NH-MA
They are in Keene, NH. They have about 10 of the rounded nose Lenars and have had them for awhile. In the off-chance they have some parts inventory, I'll bet they'd be happy to move it.

J Marie, I will try to help, first be careful of what you say or how you say anything negative about your tractor. It can get you banned. Someone will tell a little bird about it and that little bird will tell the big bird and boom, your banned.
Now considering your problem with the starters, yes they do leave something to be desired, however, considering the time of yr it is, it could be cold weather playing havoc on your starter. Try warming the starter. I know a fella that had a starter that would only spin when it was cold out. He would hit the key several times causing the starter to spin and create friction thus warming the grease in the mechanism that kicks the gear out. He would hit the key, the motor would spin and then right before it stopped spinning he would hit the key again, and the gear would engage, now on the cold days, it did take a while, sometimes an hour of trying this to get it to work. When you take the starter off, try cleaning the inside of it with break cleaner or something to break the grease up. Then relube it with some thin oil, WD 40 or something similar. When you have it off, hook it up to a battery so you can see the moving parts and spay them as they function. Hope this helps.

justinfo it's a sad day when negative comments will get you banned from this site, but I am afraid that you may be right. jmarie I agree with you about buying a better brand of tractor my chine tractor has cost me a arm and leg. not counting the down time that i needed to be using it, and my wife tells me about it every day. my brother owns a name brand that starts and runs every time he wants to use it, life must be very boring for him. I do have a 1953 ford tractor that does start and runs very well that i use for a back up( now it's my main tractor, yes the C tractor is broke again and am waiting on parts)
Tim out of curiosity, what brand of tractor do you have. If you wish not to disclose that in the open, please feel free to call me or send me a private message. Thanks and I do hope that my advice helps J marie. It is not a solution to her problem, just a band aid on a bad problem that doesn't seem to have a solution. I have seen owners of these tractors all over the world, Uk, Australia, Canada, ect ect with identical starter problems. You know, when they over look the tail lights melting the lens covers, how much faith can we have in them correcting a complicated problem like a faulty starter design. I dont think J Marie saved any money on her machine, it still is costing him/her in frustration and down time. Best of luck to you J marie

Not when those "negative comments " constitute violations of the forum terms of service. One of those violations is to "Post under multiple identities and/or names ". Draw your own conclusiontimwil said:

Greg,
There is not a doubt in my mind that there are users that have multiple names on here. But, I have been lurking on this board for a while and I have seen several members banned and the only reason I can see that they were banned is because they disagreed with the DEALER/DISTRIBUTER POLICE. From what I have seen these members were using just one name. This board should be an open forum for all tractor owners. The posting of opinions, facts, experiences, and or what not, weather they be pro or con to any make or brand of tractor should be allowed. If it is false or untrue, then there is a problem. Censorship should only be used to clear profanity and sexually obscene material unrelated to this forum. If it is alright for someone to say Brand X tractor is the best **** tractor I have ever owned, then it should be ok to say Brand X tractor is the worst **** tractor I have ever bought, but we know that there are those that will dictate what is permissible and what is not. I whole heartedly agree with the banned member that said Dealers and Distributors should not be moderators having the power to protect the image of the tractor that they are selling.
