FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My original starter has 14 teeth. Will this 16-tooth model work?
No. The tooth count must match your original starter exactly to prevent damage to the flywheel. This model has 16 teeth. If you have a 14-tooth starter, you likely need our Lester 5777 model.
Does this starter come with a warranty?
Yes, this Durautos starter motor includes a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects to keep your equipment running smoothly through every season.
Is this a new or remanufactured part?
This is a 100% Brand New unit assembly. We do not sell remanufactured parts, meaning there is no core return required and no hidden core charges.
How do I confirm fitment for my vintage Cub Cadet?
Check your original starter for part numbers like 390838 or 393499. This 16-tooth CCW rotation motor is the standard replacement for most vintage 7HP-12HP Cub Cadet and JD tractors.
Is this part suitable for daily commercial landscaping fleets?
Absolutely. We engineer our starters with reinforced internal components and sealed housings specifically to handle the high-frequency starting and dusty environments typical of professional use.
