Super A - Grinding starter revisited

If I understand the CaseIH website correctly, the old (6 volt) type starter drive Super A, 100, 130, etc. can be replaced with the new clutch type starter drive that is used on the 12V starter for the Farmall/International 140 tractor. If anyone has any insight on this part number, I would much appreciate it.
Thanks for all the advice received so far.

Lewis: Since we communicated last week, I had to take my 130 starter to a rebuilder. Seems there is a short in it somewhere. I had been expecting trouble from my starter. Last spring, I installed a new push button switch from CaseIH. About a month after I installed it, I started the tractor, moved it 10', shut it off and headed for the house. Remembering a wrench I wanted from the tool box, I went back to hear the battery boiling. The new starter switch was stuck down, just enough to put current to starter but not actually engage it. I had to replace the battery shortly after. Kind of wondered how much damage starter may have suffered. Well, I found out Mon. morning this week.

After 16 years my clutch starter drive is still in good condition. He advised me, clutch type is not the best description. In his world they are refered to as the old Bendix and new type starter drive, he thought they are both made by Bendix. He told me the new type are available just about everywhere today. When I bought these new type drives, they were only available at CaseIH. This rebuilder I took it to was rather surprised to learn I had these drives since 1992.
 
Thanks guys for all the help. Hugh, your starter repair man is correct. All these drives were made by Bendix with such descriptive names as Folo-Thru Drive, Friction Drive, etc. The only problem I was having is finding the actual part number for the starter drive used on the Super A's, 100's, etc. Thanks to Glenster that provided the link to Steiners which has the correct new type starter drive for the starter I have.
