Made to Last MAHLE knows these tractors often work harder than machines twice their size, so this 3kW starter is built accordingly. The motor develops enough torque to spin these efficient German diesels even when the oil's thick and the compression's high. Premium brushes and armature windings handle repeated starts without burning out - crucial when you're moving between small fields or doing loader work that requires frequent restarts. The 240mm length is precisely engineered to maintain proper gear mesh throughout the starter's life. Good to Know This 240mm length is critical - too short won't engage properly, too long causes binding. During installation, check your battery cables carefully; these older tractors often have corroded connections that rob starting power. If your old starter was noisy, inspect the ring gear for worn teeth. While you're at it, clean the starter mounting surface - proper grounding is essential for any starter, but especially important on these precision machines. These tractors start best with fully charged batteries, so consider a battery tender if your tractor sits between uses.
