Is this a genuine original part?

This is a premium quality aftermarket replacement part, manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) standards for fitment and performance.

How do I know if it is compatible?

We recommend checking the SKU/MPN and Cross Reference list provided above. If your original part number matches any of these (specifically Kohler 12-098-22-S or John Deere AM122435), it is a guaranteed fit.

Why does my original starter have 9 teeth while this has 10?

Kohler engines vary by specific series; some 12.5HP models use 9 teeth, while 13-20HP models often utilize this 10-tooth configuration. This SAB0037 model is designed for the 10-tooth ring gear applications commonly found on John Deere LT series tractors.
