Generic Kohler 7000-Series Starter for KT/SV Engines — 9-tooth, 12V 250A Aluminum-Alloy

This is a direct-replacement starter designed to fit multiple Kohler 7000-series and compatible Cub Cadet lawn mower engines, delivering durable engagement and dependable cranking when you need it.

Built as a high-quality aftermarket rotor for Kohler KT and SV series engines (and a long list of compatible Cub Cadet models), this starter swaps into applications that list part numbers such as 3209801, 3209803, 3209804 and 3209808. The unit uses a 12 V electrical design with a 250 A current rating and an 800 W power output, featuring a 9-tooth gear that emphasizes stronger torque at the joint for reliable blade-start rotation. Materials include upgraded carbon steel gearing and an aluminum-alloy housing to improve wear resistance and reduce overall weight.

Which mower models will this starter work with?

This starter is manufactured to match multiple Kohler engine families and many Cub Cadet chassis. Check the engine/model cross list carefully to confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility before ordering.

• Kohler: KT715, KT725, KT730, KT735, KT740, KT745, SV710–SV740, SV810–SV840 series
• Cub Cadet chassis and model families listed in the compatibility details
• Accepts legacy part numbers including 3209801, 3209803, 3209804, 3209808 and many OEM cross-references

How does the 9-tooth gear affect starting performance?

The 9-tooth gear geometry increases the bending radius at tooth roots, which translates to higher torque delivery at the mating point. That extra leverage helps turn higher-compression engines more easily, improving initial engagement under load.

• 9 teeth designed for greater torque versus 10-tooth alternatives
• Carbon steel gear improves stiffness and resists wear
• Smooth engagement for frequent start cycles and under-load starts

What materials and build upgrades are included?

This replacement starter combines hardened carbon-steel gears with an aluminum-alloy carrier to increase longevity while keeping weight down. Those choices improve corrosion resistance and reduce the chance of gear wear in outdoor or damp environments.

• Carbon-steel gear for enhanced hardness and wear resistance
• Aluminum-alloy housing resists oxidation and cuts structural weight
• Electrical spec: 12 V, 250 A, 800 W for standard small-engine cranking demands

What support and warranty come with the purchase?

The seller provides a one-year warranty on manufacturing defects and stands behind the product with customer support through the sales platform. If issues arise, repair or replacement range options are available after contacting support.

• One-year limited warranty covering defects
• After-sales support via the marketplace messaging system
• Repair or replacement offered for verified failures within warranty period

Who is this for: This starter is targeted at homeowners, landscapers and small-engine technicians who need a robust, cost-effective replacement for worn or failed starters on Kohler 7000-series engines and certain Cub Cadet models. It's particularly useful for users who require a stronger tooth profile for reliable cranking, want a lighter but corrosion-resistant assembly, and need a direct-fit part that matches common OEM reference numbers.
