Questions & Answers

How do I verify if this starter is correct for my Thermo King unit?

The most accurate method is to check the part number on your existing starter motor. If it matches 45-2177, 845-2177, or Hitachi S13-407/A, this is the correct replacement. You can also check your engine tag; this starter is specifically for Yanmar 482 and 486 diesel engines.

Does this starter have a 9-tooth or 15-tooth pinion?

This specific unit (45-2177) is a 9-tooth starter. Some rebuilt versions or alternative gear reduction designs may use different tooth counts, but this new OSGR unit is designed with a 9-tooth pinion to mesh correctly with the Yanmar flywheel ring gear.

Is this a direct fit for the SB-210?

Yes, the SB-210 typically runs the Yanmar 486 engine, which uses this starter configuration. Always verify the cross-reference numbers to be certain.

Please double-check your original part number against the cross-references provided to ensure a correct fit.
