I am looking for a good part number for my L3901 Kubota tractor. My starter does not have any numbers on it. it is a denso starter, but any brand will work. Thanks for any help.

There is the Kubota number.
What testing has been done to determine it needs a starter. Wouldn’t suspect on that new of a model it would be an issue, and for that price I would want to be 100% sure it needs one.
Smoke comes out of it when I try to start it. Can the motor be bought for it. Or can it be rebuilt cheaper.

Take it to a rebuild shop. i have had many starters rebuilt at shops that specialized in rebuilding starters and alternators. They will clean it and replace any bad parts. In the past, I have found that this costs a fraction of what a new one would.

Kubota does offer remanufactured starters that are significantly less money. Kubota also offers the parts to rebuild it, or take your starter to a repair shop
Thanks for all the help. All the other starters for the Kubota's tractors cost less than $200.00 dollars what makes this one special.
call a kubota enginerd and ask them why these cost more
probably a vendor deal (maybe specific to this engine/tractor, made by most likely Denso). They are high quality starters. I've never heard of one fail on a 3301 or 3901 until this thread
sure it's the starter and not something else ? A seized or frozen engine can also destroy a starter.
@whitetiger have you had much luck with the Kubota reman stuff? I didn't, and we quit selling them, period, because of quality concerns.

We have had great luck with the reman parts, I do not recall of any failure to date. Manly we have sold starters and injection pumps.

I have done business with DB Electric for aftermarket starters. . Their prices are reasonable, and they have taken care of any problems without a lot of BS. Here is the link. They are worth a look.
