L210 flywheel ring gear

[141C5]

Hello everyone. I recently purchased a L210 that would not start. I was told the starter was bad. Removed starter and found the ring gear teeth ground down. After some research figured out someone put a 10 tooth starter on and it ground down all of the ring gear teeth. Hoping the correct 9 tooth starter would grab what was left but I was wrong. So now I am searching for a ring gear. Called many salvage yards no luck. So what's the chance someone has one they are willing to sell or exact dimensions so I could try finding same for different applications.

Welcome to OTT.

Might be a challenge, but the first thing I would do is send @007kubotaguy a private message to inquire.

He’s helped a lot of folks here on OTT with older L-series parts.

I think an L210 is a very early Kubota model, but if anyone knows a source or compatible version it would be him.

Awesome I will send him a message. Thank you. The ID plate is go from mine but I am thinking it is a 72 or 73. Think it's the only years they built this one. It's an awesome tractor just need to get it right.

One 'cheat' is to heat the ring gear up to get it off, then flip it front side to back side, so you now have GOOD teeth.

But you lose the bevel that helps the bendix mesh. Would probably work, but may grind.

Unfortunately the teeth all look the same height all the way across. With a burr on the back side of the tooth.
