 Could be the Bendix drive on the starter is in need of a little lubrication. Get some dry Graphite spray and give it a try.

I chatted with you briefly but had to leave before we got very far.  As I mentioned it could be a worn front bushing, or as noted asbove could just need lubrication.  i recently had one sticking that I removed from the motor, cleaned the bendix and lubed with graphite. The spiral bendix shaft was very dirty.  I didn't even disassemble the started. Also if you think you need to disassemble it for a full cleaning, aybe someone on here can point you to a Kohler manual that has instructions for that.

 

Welcomw and Good Luck, you have a great tractor!
