Ran d 24 #1 Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Looking for suggestions on where and what to buy. The engine is a k301 spec #47421d s/n 7201246. From what I can tell, new kohler part #45 098 09-s. Little pricey at $150 to $250! Is there a good aftermarket brand that might be recommended? Anyone have a working, oem used starter that they might sell. I know these are no longer produced new and was wondering if a reputable starter shop could repair? Even serious repair like rewinding armature or field windings? Thanks in advance for the help. Disassembled starter today and found the lower magnet had cracked in half and was no longer bonded to the housing.

ebinmaine 71,831 #2 Posted November 8, 2020 That's a fairly simple starter to rebuild and clean out. Pretty much any half decent old school automotive electrical shop would be able to do that for you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ran d 24 #3 Posted November 11, 2020 Took starter to local repair shop. Was told that it was beyond repair. Can not get permanent magnets and the armature was burned up. Bought aftermarket from eBay for $49.95 free two day shipping. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
