Common Questions

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.
Does this starter fit the John Deere AMT transporter series?
The supplied fitment data lists AMT622 for 1988-1990 and AMT626 for 1990-1992. Confirm the original starter number, drive gear, rotation, mounting, and terminals before ordering.
How do I verify the 9-tooth CCW configuration?
Compare the tooth count and rotation with the original starter, then cross-reference its stamped number with Kawasaki 21163-2089, John Deere MIA12216, or another number listed above.
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.

Huge Huge amozon savings.

worked great went from a john deere gatorthat would not start to back up and running
the local dealer wanted $400new/ 300rebuit no labor included. Labor at this dealer is well over a $100 dollars an hour estimate 3 to 4 hours. This project with this starter cost in total around $100
new starter + labor. That's Incredible $700 + in savings.. Also the Durautos starter matches
the original starter link a mirror image to every detail. Great Find

Good quality starter that fits like OEM

I just installed this starter on my 2012 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO and it fit perfectly. The mounting holes lined up with the OEM unit, and the electrical connections were an exact match, so the swap was quick and straightforward. Once installed, it cranked the engine strong and smooth with no hesitation, and it has that solid, quality sound you expect from a well?built starter. It's great to have my Sportsman firing up the way it should again.
The build quality looks really good, and it feels like a well?made replacement part rather than a cheap knockoff. For anyone dealing with a weak or failing starter on a 2012 Sportsman 500 HO this is an easy, cost?effective fix. It works well, fits like it should, and is a good value.

Good starter, all new. Not a refurbished.

The customer service is unusually great. Really fast communication. We got the starter in 2 days. After a month, we started having an issue with the starter having to try a couple times before it would engage. Durautos customer service asked for a video of the issue and immediately sent a replacement.
