Starter Motor for Kohler K161 & K181, John Deere 110, 200 & 208
Kohler K-161 and K-181 engines in John Deere and Cub Cadet lawn tractors - 12V, CCW, 16-tooth
A starter motor is the component that cranks the engine over to begin combustion. If it fails to engage, spins without turning the engine, or does not respond at all when the key is turned or the start button is pressed, the engine will not start. This starter motor is built for Kohler K-161 and K-181 engine applications, including the John Deere 110, 200 and 208 lawn tractors and the Cub Cadet 800, engineered as a direct replacement that matches the original unit's fit, mounting and function.
It is a 12V permanent magnet direct drive (PMDD) unit with counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation and a 16-tooth drive pinion, with a motor housing length of 3.390in matching the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit without modification?
Yes, this starter motor is built to match the original Kohler K-161/K-181 unit's housing length, rotation and drive pinion, so it installs as a direct swap.
What's included?
One new 12V starter motor, ready to fit.
How do I know my old starter has failed?
Common signs are a single click with no crank, a slow or straining crank, or no response at all when the key is turned or the start button pressed.
Does this fit both Kohler and John Deere branded engines?
Yes - John Deere fitted the Kohler K-161 and K-181 engines to the 110, 200 and 208 lawn tractors, so the starter is shared. Check the 16-tooth drive and 3.390in housing length against your original unit, or match one of the John Deere AM numbers listed above.
