FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My old starter has 9 teeth. Can I use this 10-tooth model?
No. The tooth count must match your original starter exactly. This Lester 5801 is the 10-tooth version. If you have a 9-tooth starter, you likely need our Lester 34009 model.
Does this starter motor come with a warranty?
Yes, all Durautos starter motors include a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects to ensure your equipment remains operational throughout the season.
Is this a new or remanufactured part?
This is a 100% Brand New unit. We do not sell remanufactured parts, so there is no core return required and you get a completely fresh motor assembly.
How do I confirm this fits my Cub Cadet RZT?
Check the sticker on your original starter for Kohler part number 32-098-01-S or equivalent. This model is common on RZT 42, 46, 50, and 54 models equipped with Kohler V-Twin engines.
Is this part suitable for commercial landscaping fleets?
Absolutely. We engineer these starters with heavy-duty internal components designed to handle the frequent starting and dusty conditions typical of professional landscaping work.
