Weird. I guess it could happen if the flywheel was machined a little
out of tolerance small and was not caught in manufacturing, combined
with a large end of the tolerance ring gear. My guess is that one or
the other was out of tolerance. Made a good deal for you! I know
there were some odd things that escaped the factory when the turks
were starting to be brought in.
A few years ago I bought a 240D parts car that wouldn't start. The
starter would spin free, it sounded like it wasn't grabbing the ring.
I wacked the starter with a hammer a few times to see if that would
help, but then just took the car apart. I needed the trans for my
300D. Turned out the ring gear was loose on the flywheel... you could
actually move it a bit by hand.
The car only had 140,000 miles and ended up being great for parts.
Paid $300, took what I needed, and sold it for $300.

but other than old tractors, you almost never need to. it is not that bad,
just drop the trans and unbolt the flywheel. Just a matter of perspective,
I guess. And I never had to do it with an auto trans.... the weight of
those Ps of S adds to the aggravation factor for sure.
on tractors, it is not that bad on IH. That is all i ever had to do, and
only a couple of them

I did buy a new ring gear once for something. I think maybe it was an
OM621. It was not that expensive.
Yes, but ...
GETTING to the ring gear is a major hassle.
