Starter .motor for perkins diesel

Hello
I have just bought a CAT V40B lifttruck with perkins diesel engine it has a Lucas CAV45 starter which is troublesome. Need some assistance in finding the lifttruck serial number ( dataplate is worn) i think its an 81 model. Parts info on starter would be welcome.
Starter has been reconned and doesnt seem to engage long enough to start every time ( on occassion it does) , flywheel looks fine and starter benchtests ok, when fitting it it doesnt seem a very close fit which makes me suspect it might not be the correct one? Any advice would be welcome, I bought it to load haybales into a pickup for feeding cattle. Its been serviced but just want it starting reliably! Thanks
