Seems like you have a Murray piece of equipment and I think it is a 2004

C950-52464-0 - Dual Stage Snow Thrower (2004)
There is a Briggs engine on that you probably need to replace the whole starter as they do not make a repair kit for that one,as it is a Murray part and they are out of business. They retrofitted a starter for that.
Here is a link from sears the starter is there for $186.00 plus shipping or you can order it and pick it up there.Copy and paste this into your browsers address bar.  We can order you one for $178.29 plus shipping of $10.00
