Kubota tractor starter options?

[David Moxley]

Hey all, which aftermarket starter do you like in your Kubota Outdoor Power Equipment ?
I have used Napa and Rockauto in the past, but over time they do start to defective and not start any more.
But searching around now, I see some cheaper options like Hexautoparts and db electrical.
Saw a couple of youtube videos that people seemed to like the Hexautoparts starter has anyone here tried them and if so how was the fitment?

I have not used hexautoparts but have had good luck with DB electrical

I have used DB several times on odd ball equipment . The first was probably ten years ago. It was a pump with a three cylinder Deutz diesel on it that someone had took the starter and alt off. I bought both from DB and there are both still working.

I'd go DB Electrical All Day. I've used them on cars and my Kubota and they've always been flawless

most aftermarket starters are from the same type suppliers. They're less expensive than OEM, for a reason. Rarely ever had to replace a starter on a Kubota engine that I can remember. Maybe a couple direct drive "big" starters on the G series diesel, and those were replaced with the later style gear reduction starters which generally last a long, long time.

Kohler? LOL--different story. Sore subject.
