Hello. I have the above Caterpillar TC30 and I am having problems with the starter grinding and kicking out and not turning the motor over. Sometimes it will engage correctly but most of the time it just grinds against the ring gear. I have to try several times before it will engage. I am afraid one day it will not engage at all. The person from whom I bought the forklift said that the starter motor was changed but the problem persisted.

Does anyone know what the problem might be and the solution to the problem?
