How does this starter match my original equipment?

• Teeth: 10-tooth pinion compatible with the original flywheel ring gear.

What should I verify before ordering?

To avoid returns, confirm the starter’s physical appearance and part references against your existing unit. Even with shared OEM numbers, minor variations in mounting or electrical connectors can exist across years and submodels.

• Compare the photo in the listing with your starter’s housing and bolt pattern.
• Check the OEM reference numbers printed on your old starter for cross-reference.
• Confirm your mower’s engine horsepower (20–26HP) and model number to ensure compatibility.
