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

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
