The order was shipped from the distributor within 2 hours of my placing it with Amazon and arrived in 2 business days. It took all of 15 minutes to install and worked perfectly. The authority with which this starter turns my engine over is impressive!

I learned some things while solving the problem and researching the replacement. I bought this machine used and the starter had been replaced by someone who is supposed to be a professional. The replacement had a plastic pinion gear and my engine had a steel ring gear. Plastic gears and steel gears do not play well together. If you don't otherwise know, use a magnet to see if the ring gear is steel. If it is get a starter with a steel pinion gear. If the ring gear isn't magnetic it is either plastic or aluminum. In either case get a starter with a plastic pinion gear.

Beware of starters advertised as Heavy Duty, claiming to be longer, and costing half again as much. They are the same length as the standard units which are described as Heavy Duty in the fine print.

I read several forum discussions about after market starters and am confident this starter is the equal of an OEM unit costing 5 times as much.

You can use the Briggs engine model number, just google it to find the right Briggs number for the starter. Then google that number and you will find several online purchase choices. I always like to order through Amazon, if things don't go well Amazon has my back.

I ordered a starter from DB Electrical for my lawnmower. The first starter failed within 3 months. I contacted them and they sent another one out with instructions that if the second one failed to return both for a refund. The second one failed and so I returned both. They wrote back and said that since it had been a year since the first starter was purchased it was out of warranty, even though the second starter was only in service for 2-3 months. So now I am out the purchase price and the return shipping. Don't deal with these people their service and products are terrible!!

The model number matched my old unit that broke on my Craftsmen lawnmower, I was very happy that it was in perfect condition and worked. It is a pleasure doing business with people who honestly price and list their items.

Quality product, good price. Bought to replace original starter. Don't know if typical but I had to use a couple of washers as spacers for proper alignment. There were no spacers used w/original. Works great.

Used now for about a month. No issues. Got my machine up and running.
Made in china. So far so good. Came fast

i bought this starter for my riding mower in aug of 2011.the starter was very reasonably priced and worked as it should.i would definately recommend this to a friend.

This is a great product that was unbelievably low in cost, fit perfect and works great. I would say to anyone....don't hesitate to deal with these folks. I received the item in a matter of days. I would buy from them again if needed.

Slapped it on and it worked! If it ever gets to where it's not wanting to run, DO NOT smack the body with a hammer. That worked once on my original starter but the second time I shattered a magnet in the body.

Received this starter and works great. I did have to add a washer to get the gears to mesh but easy fix!

Purchased from ProTech Supply because of the free delivery. OEM fit and works great, was tired of tapping on the old one with a hammer to start my mower.
