I am looking for this starter. A used one. My Grandma has a L112 John Deere Tractor that is 36 years old. Its a 1985 riding tractor. All it needs is a starter that I can't find. My Uncle has this starter and tried to get someone to fix it but the person that he took it to couldn't fix it. I don't know what to do now. I have searched all over the internet and can't find a used one. Help!

Welcome, I don't know what engine you have but most any small engine repair shop will have the used starter you are looking for - about $20.

That is Briggs and Stratton p/n 497595 which is readily available. It is not designed to be serviceable.

That has too many teeth. The one I am looking for has 9 teeth.

112L? Which had a Kawasaki, I would check with some Kawasaki dealers by engine model number FB460V. They have nla for awhile.

Welcome to MTF. There is no L112 and the L series that do exist is from much later. It is REALLY important to get the right information about what you seek if you want to find the right parts. Based on the other information you provided, it is probably a 112L which was only made in 1985.

This has a Kawasaki FB460V, but you should confirm that by looking at the label on the engine.

I found this starter with about 30s of looking.

I have no idea if it is any good or not, but at about $50 it is not too expensive. How do you know it is the starter that that is bad? Maybe the real issue is something else.

It is the original starter. Yes, it is a 112L. I didn't realize that made a huge difference. Thank you for correcting me!!!!

 

[dblomquist]

I tried to copy a link however I believe it would have taken you to my account. Very easy look up though and under $100 new.

 

[Frogmore]

It looks like you have a few choices for a new/replacement starter. But, it won't help if there is another problem. If you are certain someone did proper troubleshooting and only the old starter is defective, any of the new ones should solve your problem.

As mentioned by the others, are you sure it is the starter that is the issue? What does happens when you turn the key? Also, looks like from your photo the solenoid has been removed from the starter and the new ones appear to have the solenoid attached. Once again, at what point did you get involved in this project?
