I agree with Synchro909. I have personally broken 2 modern drives made in India and one made in USA. All on a 6 volt system. They not only partially engage the ring gear but come to a halt on their own internal mechanism and destroy it after a while. The original bendix comes up against the starter end plate as an end stop as it fully engages the ring gear.
There has been a lot of comment fromTerry Burtz and Marco Tahtaras in the past too, pointing out these problems.
