I bought this starter to replace one that failed after 9 years on my Ariens snowblower. The starter was an exact fit and installed easily. It works perfectly.

Got the starter installed, plugged it in, pressed the starter button, and it stuck in the on position. Decided it would be easier to use the cord, then to return.

Was surprised to see it was an import item.

On my 8 year old Craftsman two-stage snowblower which has had multiple failures, the electric starter was a Tecumseh made in USA. It went out. Ordered one at far less than what Sears would have charged from Amazon.com and DB Electrical sent it very promptly. Tried for over an hour to install and seat the new Tecumseh starter. It WOULD NOT SEAT!! Finally I measured the old one (made in USA) against the new one (made in Taiwan) and discovered the upper brackets of the new one were 4mm too small. Opening on the new one measured 7 mm and the old one measured 11 mm. So had to drill them out. It seated immediately. After installing, I decided I needed to try it. The starter did not work. It was defective. Called DB Electrical immediately and they shipped another one the next day. Upon receiving it, I drilled out the upper brackets and it seated correctly. The whole job was completed in less than 5 mintues. Tried it out and the second new starter worked just fine. Several days later it snowed, and the starter worked just fine. TIP: if you buy one, try out the starter in a GFCI outlet and if it doesn't work or blows the circuit, then it is bad.

This starter came very quickly in the mail which was great just in time for the big storm. The only issue so far that I had was that I had to file out the mounting tabs because they were manufactured smaller than the original one. So far it has worked well every time I have started my snow blower. Typical after market construction a little cheaper than the original. If it works longer than the original (which was two seasons) I will be very happy.

the new starter has given me back my right arm. living in minnesota it won't be much longer now to enjoy electric start again. I ordered the item on a monday and it was delivered the next day by ups. the price was right too, a little over half compaired to local suppliers. thanks amazon.com

Very pleased with the quality of this starter. . .

Super-pleased with the price, which is almost half of prices quoted in this neck of the woods

This starter saved the day when mine went out during a snowstorm. My snow blower has a pull start but I'm not able to start it with the pull starter unless it is already warmed up. So this starter was just what I needed when I needed it. Thanks Amazon.

I have a Craftsman snowblower, original starter went out towards the end of winter. I installed and used the new starter 4-5 times now and so far it works like it did when it was new. The replacement bolted right on without having to drill-out the holes on the starter bracket like I've read on other reviews...it took about five minutes to remove the old and re-install the new. Very satisfied for the price, we'll see if it lasts like the original.

It was real easy to install the Techumseh starter and it only took 30 minutes. I am real happy with the product that I ordered.

Every thing worked out well, I received the starter in about 4 days, removed it from the package, installed it, (what a pain in the butt)not the starters fault, bad design of blower. plugged it in and started right up, SWEET! Has worked great the last 4 storms.
