C-123 Ring gear

[Montana Rancher]

Looking at my C-123 ring gear on my 230 it looks like it is possible to turn the ring gear around and use the other side. Is this true ?Also there is 90 teeth on the ring gear does the proper starter have 10 teeth? Thanks in advance.

Just specify the correct engine/tractor model when purchasing an improved clutch style drive pinion. They are different, but work better than the original style. Jim
