The complete motor is 6B9157, is the one pictured yours ? if so rebuilding might be an option, also the motor and bendix assembly, not including the nose cone (9B8857), were used on many different Caterpillar units and other brands, John Deere etc. so one option is to put your nose cone on the motor from another application that might be more available.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
Yes it is mine. I was hoping that I could buy another starter to have as a spare. From what I have gleaned it is a 6 volt starter that uses a set bolt to anchor it. That is how mine is attached. Counterclockwise rotation.
The only real difference between the starters for the D7, D2-4, and others is where the nose cone is clocked on the motor, could be pretty easily modified by a machinist.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
