Starting problems
This problem has got worse over the last year. The started will sometimes
(most times now) just spin without turning the motor. I took the starter
off and tested it on the bench and it appears to be fine. After removing
the inspection plate I can see one place where a couple of the teeth are
broke off. Questions:
1 - Is there a gear in the starter that could be worn out - the spindle
spins free until the solenoid shoves it forward.
2 - Can the ring gear on the fly-wheel be changed, or does the whole
fly-wheel have to be replaced.

OK - hold on the spindle only spins free in one direction either position...

The Bendix on your starter is worn out. This is the doohickey that
shoves that pinion gear out and into good contact with the ring gear.
If it fails, it will usually take out one or more spots on the ring
gear in the process.
OK, I guess you might have just a bad ring gear, but never seen
one break a tooth without help from a bad bendix.
