• Reconnect wiring and test starting with a charged battery

How do I confirm I’m ordering the right part?

Before purchase, compare the part number stamped on your original starter and verify connector type, mounting orientation and overall length. If your mower manual lists any of the equivalent part numbers, this Eterpace unit is likely a suitable match.

• Match original part number or check cross-reference list
• Compare electrical terminal layout and bolt pattern
• Confirm engine model and mower series for compatibility
