John Deere 60 ring gear and starter

[sbs]

Had my starter rebuilt. The shop said it was a reman. starter. Also stated that the drive gear looked like a drive gear for a 620. Told him to put the correct gear in for a 60.
Now for the ring gear the teeth were chewed up about 1/4" into the teeth and down to bevels. So I took the ring gear off and flip it around, using a angle grinder I tried putting the bevels on the best I could. With the flywheel back on the tractor I slide the starter drive gear towards the ring gear to see if they would mesh correctly and the ring gear teeth hit the face of the starter gear. Is the 60's ring gear designed only to use the one side with the factory bevels?
The starter gear has ten teeth, and the ring gear is 160 teeth. What do I need to do buy a new ring gear?
Thank you for your help.

What was the differnece in the start drive gear from the 60 to 620?
I was thinking that maybe, the flywheel gear could be turned around and not grind the bevels in it because the drive has them, but i could be wrong.
I haven't tried it myself.
We also have a 60 with a flywheel ring gear that is getting bad.
Where can one be purchased?

The pinion hits the ring gear and grinds?
Can you pull the pinion into mesh by hand and have everything line up?
Setting up the foot linkage is vital. The pinion gear should be pressed hard against the ring gear before the start motor begins to spin.
