There are a lot places in Indiana that can rebuild your original starter. I personally would have it rebuilt.

I'll let you know about an experience I had a couple of years ago: My mom has an early John Deere Gator. The starter on her unit failed and I started searching the internet for a replacement.
I found a third-party seller on walmart.com that sold a replacement starter for it and they shipped it to my door for under $35 and free shipping. I compared the old Denso with the replacement no-label starter and all tooling marks and reinforcement markings on the starters were identical. Now I'm not saying that they sent me a Denso starter, I'm just saying that if it isn't a Denso, exterior-wise, they are identical.
She's had two years of flawless results from the replacement starter.

Kubota starters usually do have an automotive cross, but for cars not sold in the US, or extremely uncommon models.
What is the problem with it? Solenoid, drive, brushes, bushings? As long as the armature and field winding's are okay its no big deal to repair. The OE starter is about $350 may be more.
Kruse's experience dovetails with mine. The no-name starter's parts interchanged 100% I misdiagnosed a wiring fault as a failed clone starter. I mixed and matched parts with a very worn original starter. Every part interchanged. Quality was equal. It is the same with the Zama carb clones for 2 strokes. These are hand assembled. It is all about what the assembler gets paid.

Not sure exactly. It makes noise, but it doesn't sound like the motor is strong enough to turn it. It'll eventually turn the engine after some tinkering.
Pulled the starter from my other Kubota and it fired right up. Without being plugged in too.

The drive end housing, and often the pinion gear are special. The motor, solenoid parts and starter clutch are usually interchangeable. There re many different pinion shafts, pinion gears, and solenoid plunger assemblies so you kind of have to know what you are doing. Some are only slightly different.

What do you tinker with that makes it work?
Pull the end plate and check the brushes. It may be a cheap and easy repair.
