2009 land master 700 4wd with 653cc Subaru engine

[Roger 99]

My uncle has this machine and his starter is bad we can only find a 9 tooth and the one on it is 11 tooth.  My question is will a 9 tooth work or did they change it to 9 for more torque?

 Maybe take the starter apart, and swap just the motor?

Can you locate the model of the Subaru engine, on it anywhere?

it may be configured like "EH65, or EH653 etc."

Since Subaru is no longer in the small engine game, it may be difficult to find engine parts, that fit, or are difficult to find period.

Or is there a model number on the starter anywhere? With Subaru being Japanese made, i'm willing to bet it's a Denso starter.
