Common Questions

Is this a direct replacement for my John Deere Gator TS starter or Gator CX starter motor?
Yes, this starter is engineered to directly replace the factory starters on John Deere Gator TS (2010-2014) and Gator CX (2010-2015) 4x2 utility vehicles. Confirm your original part number and 9-tooth/CCW rotation before ordering.
How do I confirm this matches my Kawasaki FE290D starter or John Deere 1200A bunker rake starter?
Compare the tooth count (9 teeth) and rotation (CCW) with the original starter on your Kawasaki FE290D engine or 1200A Bunker Rake. Then, cross-reference its stamped OEM number with Kawasaki 21163-2089, John Deere MIA12216, or AW26844 listed in our cross-reference section.
Is there a core deposit requirement?
No. This listing is for a 100% brand-new starter, so the original unit does not need to be returned.
Are installation bolts included?
The source listing describes the starter assembly only and does not confirm mounting hardware. Retain the correct original hardware unless your package contents state otherwise.
What should I check before installation?
Disconnect battery power, label the wires, compare both starters, inspect the ring gear and mounting surfaces, and follow the applicable equipment service manual for installation procedures and torque values.
