Starter Motor for John Deere 316, 318 & 420 Tractors 1983-1992

Fits John Deere lawn and garden tractors with Onan B43E and B48G engines

This starter motor is a direct replacement for the John Deere 316, 318 and 420 lawn and garden tractors powered by Onan B43E and B48G engines, built to OEM specifications for correct fit and function.

It is a 12V unit with an 8-tooth counter-clockwise rotation drive, delivering 0.8kW of cranking power, with mounting holes 8mm OD on a 38mm centre-to-centre spacing.

We recommend checking your battery condition and charging system before fitting a replacement starter, as a weak battery is a common cause of premature starter failure. This unit is bench tested before dispatch to confirm correct output, rotation and mounting. Onan-engined John Deere equipment sees frequent start-stop cycling, so brush and drive gear wear over time is a normal failure mode, typically showing up first as slow or intermittent cranking.
