I think when most starters fail they do not turn over. One of mine will not engage unless I keep turning the key 6 or 7 times and then it will turn over. My 882 starter had failed bearings in it. If yours isn't doing that then I wouldn't change it.
I'm very happy with my China starter so far. It turns the engine over a lot faster then an original. I don't use this tractor a lot so maybe down the road I may have some problems.
Todd Markle has a good write up "over there" on diesel upgrades.
