I have a few questions is this the right engine for this tractor and is it supposed to have starter??

I would say yes on both questions.

Looks like the starter is there, tough angle though. The tins have the Bendix cover on it there by the shifter, left side while sitting on it.

If this is why you keep "bumping", the answers are no and yes.

The engine has been short-blocked and the original Lauson H55 would have been electric AND recoil start both. (yours has the wrong recoil though)

Here's one that's about as original as they come:
